Gabriel Medina has the Surf Ranch wired. He’s a competitor’s competitor, a man who surfs to win. He’s a massive superstar, standing alongside international juggernauts like Neymar. And while he didn’t win at the Surf Ranch this year — Filipe Toledo took that honor — it was extraordinarily close. Down to the last wave, as a matter of fact.
A few days after the event pulled the curtains, the World Surf League put together a quick-hitting video comprised of all of Gabriel Medina’s excellent waves. He reminded everyone early on that there’s a reason he’s undefeated in Lemoore. But more importantly, it afforded him the opportunity to clinch the first spot in the World Title-deciding Rip Curl WSL Finals this September.
