this is how people surf when they grew up near a beach and with parents that gave them freedom to surf as much as they like.

I saw him surf in a heat with Kelly Slater at RipCurl Search contest in San Francisco. He was just 16 but he could pull air and especially aerial 360s like nobody I've seen. He made it look like the easiest thing to do in the world. In fact he won the contest. Kelly won the world title.

Dave Mills - 9 years ago

What makes him so good?

I mean, come on. Is it body type? Is it just plain pure natural talent? Or is it just practice?

Knolltop Farms - 8 years ago

+juanolaizoladiaz LOL, that's a great way of explaining how it looks! Lucky for him it doesn't look like he's carrying that brick between his knees :D

Did you watch the Hurley Pro this week? I'll bet Medina wishes that he did more variety of turns instead of just tying to do the same one better and better, you know. That's the only thing I can think of that kept him from getting the score in his heat Tanner Gudauskas.

If you watched the event, what do you think about the score on his 2nd scoring ride?

juanolaizoladiaz - 8 years ago

he just surfs like holding a brick between his showlders... its a good technique but boring to watch i understand what u mean

lestliness - 8 years ago

Yes.

Knolltop Farms - 9 years ago

+Dave Mills Look at his Dad Charlie, would you want to make him even grumpier? LOL! I think he has many of the things you've listed, but still occasionally don't enjoy the way he surfs an entire wave. There is just something about his style that is...clunky? choppy? I'm not sure of the proper adjective, but he does too much hooping and stepped bottom turns for my liking.

Please don't get me wrong, he is an incredibly talented surfer and very skilled, but the part of his technique I dislike reminds me of how Jadson Andre used to hop frenetically when he 1st came on tour, remember? If he would get rid of the hops and draw a deep&smooth bottom turn it would do wonders for him. He should watch Julian Wilson's bottom turns and flow and he'd be unbeatable...that and take off on the bombs. He's won his title, now it's time to take off the gloves :)

Aloha, and thanks for listening to my coffee talk, I guess I cannot wait for Supertubos already! P.S. What do you think of Italo Ferreira!?! Thate kid rips eh?

You might also reconsider different title for your post. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to turn you on to some of the biggest airs in surfing history. Let's not forget CLAY MARZO!

+João Pedro I like how you didn't really read my comment, and just reinforced how ridiculous it is to get all fired up on the internet. I said "Medina hasn't done yet..." (pre-teahupoo 2014 contest by the way). Where do you get that I'm talking bullshit? That contest was insane. I was all onboard with Medina, he should have had a 20 in the final. He surfed unbelievable. Stop acting like I'm out to hate on brazilians. I mean honestly, why do you even surf if you're only going to go get pissed off at people? I surf to get stoked, not to talk shit. Also, stop acting like Medina is the only brazilian charger, Marcio Freire has the biggest balls of anyone I've ever met and is one of the most elite big wave chargers but no one gives him any shout outs.

João Pedro - 10 years ago

+Brian A
See I hate this kind of comment like saying Brazil can't surf big waves, this kind of bullshit, Hawaiians love to say bullshits like that just because you guys have huge waves in the island... Guess what? Medina just won big Teahupoo, deal with that, and say again that we don't chage...

Brian A - 10 years ago

Don't you love when people fight over who's the best surfer they've never met? This air was sick, Bruce's airs are sick, every pro's airs are sick. Gabriel is pretty close to competing for a title which Bruce has never done, and Bruce charges GIANT surf which Gabs hasn't really done yet. Though to be fair, if you watch Campaign vol. 1 Bruce is boosting it pretty frikin high off of double overhead surf.

MrLocked21 - 10 years ago

Shut up dumb idiot, if you have a higher air show us instead of talking bullshit. STUPID!

Gone Surfin - 10 years ago

+Nikolas Degas so my personal opinion reflects the way i surf? I don't claim to be the best surfer out (you probably do) but what i do claim is that my head is nowhere near as battered as yours ahahahah!

joe b - 10 years ago

+Nikolas Degas Just, what..? How do two and two relate? Youre so irrelevant. Ive personally never seen someone air that high before, so does that mean the past years I've surfed are suddenly meaningless and I dont know how to stand on a board any longer?

N2 D - 10 years ago

you clearly can't surf if you think this is the biggest air you've seen….

Gone Surfin - 10 years ago

Feel free to share a video of bruce irons flying 6 feet above the lip of a wave +Nikolas Degas your off your head if you think this isn't close to one of the biggest airs, this is massive

sick air i will give it that. but hugely miss labelled as "biggest air in surf history". i pull airs this big. and im no pro. bruce irons punts airs twice this big. kalani robb consistantly pulls airs wayyyyyyy bigger and much much further than this. do your homework.

parrrtypants - 11 years ago

john johns was the biggest in a contest. but even this air is only about half as big as some of bruce irons airs...

Greg Pentecost - 11 years ago

What's that... 6+' on a small 3' wave.? Sick! Wish I was even half that talented! I'll just have to keep working on it!

JJF has done 3 alley oops bigger than this air. that being said. relative to the wave this is still the biggest air by a long shot

campos756 - 11 years ago

he is genial!!!

zjgillespie - 11 years ago

mate the wave was 1 foot. there was only 1 section to do something good. its not like there was enough room on that wave for him to do turns, unless they were speed snaps

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

exactly

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

yeah! this wave looks so fun

Monty Gracey - 11 years ago

i wish i could just even get air hahah

Vinicius Macêdo - 11 years ago

sure not! Maybe highest alley-oop ever for JJ

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

how am i criticizing him? can't you read the line "i always see people". Gabriel medina is so good. you sound so ignorant, can't you read? im not even talking about him

Nathanael Jarrett - 11 years ago

Nicholas Preen - 11 years ago

Everything's forced.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

i guess if your not creative. it looks like a fun wave though. i want to surf here

surfingrox111 - 11 years ago

i see what ya mean but the wave medina is on here is quiet a small, fast beach break and the only option is to air

borch96 - 11 years ago

Marco Cardenas - 11 years ago

oh and he did it in an ankle brace!!!

Marco Cardenas - 11 years ago

how are you gonna say that! was this in competition? no! i don't need your attempt at scientific fact when i know what i saw. go watch the video and tell me it wasn't more impressive, especially cause it was an alley oop! it had a rotation in it! what is their to debate.

drawerskis - 11 years ago

um, no it wasn't. Sorry, that's science fact.

manchesterunitedpro - 11 years ago

Isaac Micallef - 11 years ago

The best

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

did you not read the 1st 8 words i said?? this guys is good and has style. im not refering to this dude. im refering to el cap in the winter or jalama when people punt air reverse's over and over and over again.

NewMusicNetworks - 11 years ago

not even close i've seen bigger airs in HB surf

coko1243 - 11 years ago

Lol what are you guys talking about! he has ridden so many waves in his life that he is trying to progress. anyone can just ride a wave to completion. its not like these waves are massive and not worth wasting. if you dont practice how are you ever going to land a new trick?

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

i respect everyones opinion dude. and this video is sick. im not refering to this, i was just stating something i think. waited waves for air reverses or whatever is dumb to me. And im not even arguing. yeah im 16 too, and i love surfing. Im not saying im the best or anything, but don't call me out for arguing when your on the internet also. hahaha

albert frank - 11 years ago

Wish I could do that but my beaches are rocky. and I choose life.

Shedz Channel - 11 years ago

the title is a slight exaggeration of the truth...but it certainly was very nice! (but i prefer to soul surf as ive been doing for 45 years) wooop!

Ricardo Silva - 11 years ago

Dude you're a lil kid who thinks that he knows all about surfing bla bla , everyone has their own opinion and if you dont respect it , gtfo! And you're the one arguing over a computer , funny huh?

FLSurfshredder - 11 years ago

You are the only one being a prick here, bro. It may be best that YOU quit talking before YOU look any more stupid... Just a thought.

Daniel Murphy - 11 years ago

not highest air

Rodrigo Campos - 11 years ago

Not anymore, John John Florence air is highest!

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

look Dick. You're a kook. i don't really care. quit arguing over a youtube video behind your computer. its my opinion and you can't argue that. Now split.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

look Dick. You're a Kook. quit arguing behind your computer. i don't really care.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

You're a Kook. quit arguing behind your computer. i don't really care.

Dick Payne - 11 years ago

made perfect sense.

Jo K - 11 years ago

It's the progression of surfing... Not everyone sits on the beach drinking coconut sperm listening to bob marly worrying about their girly style lol. There's nothing worse than people forcing a style.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

hahah yeuuah i know right. me too

Christian Berges - 11 years ago

Thank god, i thought i was the only one!

holy lemon skateboards - 11 years ago

fuck me how small are those waves?

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

that made no sence, using Big words out of context Doesn't make you sound cool. hahah i don't really care dude. i love surfing and im gonna surf

chen zuo - 11 years ago

stinky bug, does any surfer actually grab tuck knee?

swayedsea - 11 years ago

John John's was bigger

KX5Kat - 11 years ago

When I race and look for that air section, I get so bloody excited. I enjoy going for airs, and that's what the air freaks are doing, having fun. Unless they're planning to go pro, there are no rules (do what makes you happy). You can't expect others to conform to your standards, because you don't like the way they surf. Just focus on your own surfing and enjoy it... Anyway, IMO the most stylish move ever is a fast, tight and perfect 'figure-8' roundhouse cuttie rebounding right off the top.

KX5Kat - 11 years ago

I get your point, but what is style? A pleasing style is kinda subjective, I think. When I see guys doing those 'safety' turns on the right part of the wave, concentrating on style, it just comes across as boring, to me. Whether you're doing airs or carves, critical moves done well always looks stylish to me. Surfer with awesome style IMO, Fanning. When I'm on the wave, I don't think or care about being egotistical, a wave is my playground to do whatever I bloody please.

Eric Arnold - 11 years ago

Not any more! John Johns ten point air in Bali! At least biggest air in competition possibly ever!

Cameron Shearer - 11 years ago

Agreed.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

yeah, this guy is good and has style, but i always see people who spend the whole wave pumping then punt some gay air at the end. hahah idk. just for me, when i surf i like to flow and try to have clean style

Tiago Baltazar - 11 years ago

Felipe Dutra - 11 years ago

Medina should get out from WCT! Just free surf!

Lukefordnationalist - 11 years ago

i like the way he did that waveboarding thing on the roller.

matiasvitoriano vitoriano - 11 years ago

how is?

iakona Type-R - 11 years ago

Sick punt, but BI still does the highest airs.

Kiilau808 - 11 years ago

Not the highest in history.

Cameron Shearer - 11 years ago

I find that when surfers stall and then do airs not even over some type of section makes me mad.

Ryan - 11 years ago

heard of a cutback hahaha

Derek Walker - 11 years ago

the ammount of pop he can get on 2 foot waves is not possible

Malan King - 11 years ago

please tell me where this is

euripideesshreds - 11 years ago

Oh I stand corrected. Gee since nobody has seen me surf on YT I'm a fool to comment. Come on over to Hawaii and put on some airs, see how we do Chump. Teeny boppers with opinions. I hope you do some airs. It's the quickest way to the hospital, where you get really sick punk. C/O Clay Marzo in recovery. You assume that I have less tallent. Nobody gives a shit ya weeny.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

i was just thinking that. besides this guy, everyone now adays has no style. they ruin a perfect good wave by just boosting airs all day with no style. haha like honestly, tthats not cool at all. its cool when kolohe or kelly slater airs over a section closing out, but airs for no reason are kind of egotistical

euripideesshreds - 11 years ago

This is as egotistical as it gets... Thumbs down... Kid's got talent but so what.

Saxon Morris - 11 years ago

yeah i think there just talking about the first clip. people don't understand if you ride a wave for so long it will eventually close out and become smaller. he was pumping so hard that the wave died down haha. so sick

Marcus Novak - 11 years ago

Is it just me or did he not have a leg rope on doing that air and surfing the rest of those waves. Anyway nice airs, oh and person who write "sick what he gets out of those knee high waves" is an idiot because they're a lot more than knee high

nicolas freyre - 11 years ago

Dude! He's a FUCKIN BEAST

Spencer Badua - 11 years ago

nice air's

unkeltiz - 11 years ago
