Mick fanning, new world champion.

bout faakin toym!

i wanted taj to win, his style is so radical compared to the others, it just seems the judges dont dig it

will kelly be around next year or retire to the north shore, i reckon thats it for him

i think taj will win eventually,,, hes really good and he should have won already

hey! i have reef fanning sandals. does that make me socially accepted now?

i see fanning winning more, the rookies are good, ai and bruce will be around and are super competitive and bobby martinez is in line for a title shot, all too late for taj i think now

then there is kelly who might have another shot for 10

-i think taj and fanning will be the 2 leading figures for the near future- like slater and AI have been for the last few years.                                                                                                                              -now we'll increasingly see the existing challengers bobby m and jeremy flores will be the next major players, roughly equivalent to taj and fanning under slater/AI if you will, mounting a serious challenge in a couple of years.                                                                                                                                 -finally, the next generation, namely dane reynolds and jordy smith will be the new "rookie phenomena" much like flores and bobby have been. thats my prediction for the next couple of years...

Only because Slater wasn't there! Hah!
