We don&amp;#8217;t need your opinions @surfer_magazine.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For the record, I don&amp;#8217;t really care for Surfer Magazine&amp;#8217;s opinions either. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;But really? People got that pissed off about this? Let&amp;#8217;s all take a minute talk through it, folks. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It was a beautiful mistake. In his post-heat interview, Kelly even said &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s really surprising the board ended up underneath me in the end.&amp;#8221; At no point in the interview did he even hint at the idea that he may have gotten underscored. Honestly, I doubt that thought even crossed his mind. It didn&amp;#8217;t cross mine. I mean, he fell. Straight up. He just happened to fall back onto his board and stand back up. It was impressive and entertaining and certainly a display of athletic excellence, but it was not a high score in a WSL heat. Maybe, if after years and years of establishing that &amp;#8220;maneuvers&amp;#8221; of this nature are rewarded with points, the judges could throw a greater number at it. But not right now, not out of the blue. Surfing will always be subjective and the WSL has subjectively established a system where shit like this only belongs in viral videos.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;And that&amp;#8217;s the way it should be. The wave was 4. &lt;strong&gt;\\u2014Brendan Buckley&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;PS \\u2014 On that whole &lt;em&gt;look at the turns he did after it!&lt;\\/em&gt; argument: a mid-face 360?
