Bare with me for a second.

Watch the first wave of this video, nominated ASP best wave of 2012. Unbelievable.

Medina had the best wave overall for difficulty, but slater did the most, especially with that snap in the critical section of the wave

Ke11ys was miles ahead of the other two, infact they should have just showed that wave and been done with it!!

Agree 100%.
Slater's in a league of his own and that just highlighted it.

Just don't get into flips, tricks and spins.

Kelly's wave was rails, speed and power.

Those were for insane waves.

Kelly smoked it for variety of repertoire and control.

Medina's barrel was as deep as it will ever get and it's unreal how fast he's threading that barrel.

Michel Bourez pit at Supertubos.
Being my local break i'm a bit biased, but I was in the judges tower and it was a 10 point ride before he even finished the wave.
Insane take off, super deep and he had to deal with the foam ball and the backwash before he came out. SICK.

Yadin Nichol's bomb.
That was "THE" bomb. Sick how critical the take off was and how hard he was spat out of the barrel.

Though I would rather watch and surf waves like Yades's and Michel's all day long, Kelly's wave was indeed perfectly surfed. AMAZING!!!
