A while back at the Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic, something happened. You may well have seen it, even if you didn’t catch the whole event. Generally at every event on the World Surf League tour, there are a handful of events that become talking points. Maybe it’s a certain wave surfed extraordinarily well, maybe it’s someone losing their shit after a loss, or maybe it’s an egregious drop in. At Narrabeen, it was Italo Ferreira’s aerial that was scored a measly 1.77
In the WSL’s latest installment of Getting Heated, Mick Fanning, Ross Williams, and Coco Ho dive deep into exactly what they think about Italo’s wave. That’s not all, though. They also wonder whether Gabriel Medina is the gnarliest competitor of all time — which, according to one writer, is a fact. Then they go on to discuss the biggest disappointment on the leaderboard so far and the pros and cons of running events at Newcastle and Narrabeen.
