We took a closer look on the first freestyle PWA final in the single elimination of Mui Ne, Vietnam, which took place yesterday. The heat duration was 7 minutes and the best four landed moves out of 7 got taken into consideration for the judging. Have a look on the moves of both. Both of them had 4 valid moves on both tacks (even more, but just 4 count).

dude, check the video of the final!!
Kiri was 10 times better, harder & extremer!
he’s the true winner for sure
kiri for president!
Kiri was more impressive on the inside though, and his shove-it spock and shaka 360 on the outside were TIGHT. Close call either way, I could have understood either decision.
Judging is not easy guys, I believe the judges are trying as hard as they can to make the fair decision on each match.
i believe gollito has won the last 3 years almost all events. once you do that it might gets harder to impress judges. so judges are more willing to give a close heat to the other sailor. might be the single final was a close call but it should have been gollito with air chachoo and pushloop. double final even more gollito
haha, kiri is the maaan. Check out the style on this kid ! We’ve been waiting soooo long to kiri be the winner
