WHAT a JOKE that Queens contest was. Please how do you become a judge for SUP? If you were on the beach...how could Leleo Kinimaka not advance to the Finals??? Pulling all 10 on the nose(over and over), helicopter after helicopter, amazing use with the paddle while surfing, and in 2 ft. waves??? What were the judges smoking. Do they even do SUP? Why don't you just let all the surfers know what you are looking for so they don't have to bust their asses perfecting moves if you just judge them like a longboarder.
He was not the only one that got the shaft yesterday. Feel bad for the winner that knows he can't even pull the moves that Kinimaka and the others that got over looked. Oh well, just like Olympic Figure Skating judges except..keep it up and who would want to enter contests with that political CRAP. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE...the Video speaks louder than your judging marks.
