Not sure how this link will work but with 5 minutes to go all competiors had one wave in the 6 to 7 range.

Melling got his 9 and then Medina on the next wave got just over an eight.

Seen a few comments that Melling was overscored.

I dont think people watching online understand the power of Sunset and therefore how hard those turns Melling did are. You can hear it in the Shea Lopez voice. I had a go at the commentary in another thread but the froth came back to his voice.

Anyway I think the right result.
