Regardless, when isn\\u2019t watching the Top 34 (plus a couple guys that you just discovered weren\\u2019t Brazilian) go toe-to-toe in punchy beachbreak not exciting? An answer: Never. It\\u2019s always exciting. And forgive me Vasco Ribeiro; thought I had ya pegged!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Sure, the day had room for improvement conditions-wise but there was also a ton of stuff that hit our palettes just right.

Nobody likes seeing the world\\u2019s best have to grovel, and watching hawg-heavy men like Michel Bourez trying to generate speed in 2ft-slop is a sure-fire boner-killer. And John John reverting to lip-hits and floaters? No obregado.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Less:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Mason Ho in a jersey. K maybe this is just MY opinion, but unless it\\u2019s Pipe, I don\\u2019t wanna see Mason trying to please judges in a contest. Not at Bells, not at Lowers, not at Portugal; shit just don\\u2019t feel right to me. Mason\\u2019s vibrations are free and groovy and naked like the Summer of \\u201969 and contests \\u2014 Lord knows I love \\u2018em \\u2014 have time-limits and score cards and piss-tests. I know he\\u2019s a Rip Curl wildcard, and maybe I should be thankful for that, but I\\u2019m not hearing Jimi Hendrix riffs singing from Mason\\u2019s lines out there like I do when he doesn\\u2019t have a jersey on.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-667x445.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"image4\\\" width=\\\"667\\\" height=\\\"445\\\" class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-129585\\\" srcset=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-667x445.jpg 667w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-313x209.jpg 313w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-1000x667.jpg 1000w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-135x90.jpg 135w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-100x67.jpg 100w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-200x133.jpg 200w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-1151x768.jpg 1151w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-180x120.jpg 180w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-160x107.jpg 160w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-320x213.jpg 320w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-480x320.jpg 480w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-640x427.jpg 640w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-660x440.jpg 660w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-970x647.jpg 970w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-990x660.jpg 990w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image4-1120x747.jpg 1120w\\\" sizes=\\\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\\\" \\/&gt;Let that freedom flag fly Mase!

Kerrzy showed us today that when the ocean gives you Salt Creek-flavored lemons, ya make lemonade. Despite the day\\u2019s challenging backwash, the guy fully bottom-turned into a section to stomp a hefty frontside stale-fish reverse. Here, here, J. Kerr!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Less:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Backwash. I was gonna say, \\u201cMore: Clean Pulls,\\u201d but I blame this on the backwash. Today, the Peniche backwash was fucking up guy\\u2019s flow out there like a girlfriend coming home WAY too soon because she forgot her yoga mat during your Incognito Mode-time. (Warn me why dontcha!?!) The backwash led to a lot of sloppy-pulls and whitewater rafting, both of which did not help the scores.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Less:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Old school fucking alley-oops. Talking to you Aritz. I know guys like John and Julian and Filipe ruin it for everyone by doing 6-foot high ones in their heats, but non-full-rotation-oops should be outlawed in this day and age. This is not a 1996 Taylor Steele part-ender; this is 2015 and landing backwards on an alley oop is not a thing anymore.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-667x445.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"667\\\" height=\\\"445\\\" class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-129586\\\" srcset=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-667x445.jpg 667w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-313x209.jpg 313w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-1000x667.jpg 1000w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-135x90.jpg 135w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-100x67.jpg 100w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-200x133.jpg 200w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-1151x768.jpg 1151w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-180x120.jpg 180w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-160x107.jpg 160w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-320x213.jpg 320w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-480x320.jpg 480w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-640x427.jpg 640w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-660x440.jpg 660w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-970x647.jpg 970w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-990x660.jpg 990w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2015\\/10\\/image1-1120x747.jpg 1120w\\\" sizes=\\\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\\\" \\/&gt;John john Florence and a proper display of alley oop-ing.
