Taj was ripped off

TB has just lost to Travis Logie in Brazil by less than a point. This hands him a 17th and puts a little dent in his world title run.

Taj was clearly underscored on both his scoring waves and Travis was massively overscored for his mistakes. The big difference between class and WQS re-qualifiers is they don't need to mess their surfing with double pump bottom turns or mis-timmed re-entries. Logie's highest scoring wave (a 7+) had both and he failed to show style, commitment, flow or power as required by the judging criteria.

Big Luke Egan did not hold back in his commentary and was quite clear from when scores dropped for their first waves that Taj was being hard done by.

Didn't Cheyne Horan get underscored whenever he challenged MR for a title ? Who's in the number two spot ? Slater going for 10 !!!!
