Gabriel Medina rarely misses the chance to rise to the occasion. Especially at big, barrelling left-hand waves. Or any heavy wave, really. That’s why on a day when the Tahiti Pro Teahupo’o went Richter, it was no surprise that Gabriel was there to match the power – or maybe dance with it gingerly – of the great Tahitian slab and snag the first 10 of the 2019 season. Jeremy Flores can be heard giving Tahitian local Kauli Vaast props for upsetting Kolohe Andino but the attention quickly turns to the Brazilian. Medina seemed to think it might have been a 10 when he exited the barrel. Or was he working the judges? That’s a heavy one, regardless.
