looking forward to the matchup - goofy foots that have seen each other for a very long time sharing the same major sponsor for the majority of their careers remember we talked about the the heat Sin City being in favor of Medina but overall matchups is three apiece where you think about Olin taking out Medina in back-end conditions and snapper window and went all the way to beat welcome he got past Medina in that quarterfinal so he understands how to win at different venues around the world and it's officially on a forty minute final and he'll just freestyle Allah's way through the inside out the back and he's just chasing Poland right : saw this one all well done beautiful hollow section and achieves the first wave off patina which is a major accomplishment clean wrap nice form through the inside corner and he'll just stay on his feet so Owens is probably sat off his mark maybe on purpose made that ball to the last minute to take off with the lead and Gabriel started to chase but he chased that little bit too long ago in that little bit of distance and in the end that potentially is a championship move manipulation of the start letting Medina have the insight without challenge and almost putting him off guard a little bit putting him to rest a little bit and we could see Medina kick him and he realizes that oh he's got that little bit of distance and I can't catch him look at Owens making ground as he paddles across and gets into the perfect position for a great starting to ride one of the best paddlers in the game with a wider wingspan that Michael Phelps I'm able to catch up to Olin right and oh and make some pay for it - of the couple of turns thinking about numbers sir what did he accomplish well it was beautifully completed here's the choose from the water angle nice she wasn't super long wasn't super deep but by comparison of what we see today it was good and so for me and then out into the caddie and then those last two snaps to complete it show control to show that you're under no pressure whatsoever and that you've just manipulated one of the best manipulators in the game to get a start like that that was classic oh and right the surfing part of it after the tubes a little consists traditional nothing too spectacular but he's in the tube again back into a cylinder Owen right traveling for a long time and trying to punch free under priority of Gabriel Medina is still standing by for scores from the start but now Owen just freed a freestyle little bit under Medina is Medina's watch amazing ability to rely on his instincts as we will now see Medina getting started Rotel reverse nose-picking on the rotation out of it once up a get off the bottom clean hack right on the open face bouncing off the coping it sneaks on out of there [Applause] unbelievable start so radical on that major bowl right where he wants severe with 30 minutes ago great comparison now to see where the judges live both guys in the final be able to take the information they get from this situation and structure the back end of this heat but this was a sloppy flat away Joey it didn't have that potential it to get tube so he knew he had to do something special I'm phasing to throw down the nose pick reverse what about the tail Envy oh I look at that clearing of the tile he's my fan whips it out of the tile those last two terms had some spark in them the first one reduced be afraid Amber's going love this version of the nose pick only a few guys on tour can nail it in competition this version incredibly radical how they land into the nose of pivot around on the he got stuck in that watch water for a little bit but it didn't stop him he still got three extra turns after that main turn and thrown that new-school throat no spit reverse was incredible now he's free to roam big wind up off the bottom from Medina big hacking plenty open face left he'll Jam it real quick to turn combination and he's out of there in that nose pick there wasn't a lot of height there wasn't we're hearing tale to the beach you compare the outsides of each ride Owens had the tube and he had that nose pick reverse as we see this last decision I love this first fully jab with the lip superfast not much else here the face went frothy and whitewater and he cut out an interesting opening exchange one with priority a little bit moving out the back super deep right driving down the line still gunning for the exit and that section just shoves him down to the bottom he's able to get past he to earlier this morning and yet another big final showing at Teahupoo all inside look at a better 1.17 pig lay back low tail on the first section but he can't hang on and I wouldn't really wanted gabrielle to show a little bit of interest in that way 17 minutes left of the 40 minute final here for the TD Pro Olin Wright looking for his first win off Medina at this amazing wave he's had a couple of big opportunities with Dena's won both of them including last year's quarterfinal in 2017 while we were away medina did use that priority ro BL yeah and you could see the effect of that wind started was talking about first turn not critical very sort of normal pedestrian type of a turn it's not the sort of wave you is hoping for it's not a priority wave but perhaps with the inconsistency in the wave the conditions are long-term it may be who knows so it's definitely a second score it's definitely going to improve on that 2.4 and put some more pressure on oh and right in that draw three that's Minoan right is inspecting and now deciding to fall in under the hood on the takeoff still holding that strong line lengthening out the tooth time he'll punch three of the Whitewater and then sneak out for the completion that was one of the oddest tubes you'll ever see because there was so much white water it's so much going on but such is that nerve and that focus of that steely desire of all right that he just kept his line and white water was just bashing you've lived right and said that somehow he escaped out through that white water how did he hold the line through this sea just tucks right in and at this point of going well and it just opened up and somehow he just kept going with it it was one of the kind of Messier sloppier tubes you'd ever see but not easy to groove not that super hard to do to keep that positioning he wouldn't have been able to see a thing that was whitewater everywhere can would have been everywhere but what an amazing tube ride where it comes in as the score is a really interesting point it's hard too hard to know because it was really wasn't very throat he wasn't very open it took a lot of skill and a lot of talent to make that to pull that off anything to that West part of the reef now spinning for it and committing looking for a 4.5 for deep in the pit it's already clamping shut Medina still trying to push gray but he goes down oh [Music] that was a big mistake the importance of that priority rose you are just telling us BL ends up in complete create some distance from Owen to create some opportunity without that priority because we know he's lethal then this is the time for the back foot the play of Athena now with the wind up big tail high whip lands on the roof and came very close to a make there this is where he's free to roam without priority like II mentioned priority wait for the barrel under priority he can let free a little bit which is a scary side throwing right he's going to the inside and he's exactly one of those little wives Maat Gabriel Medina winding up or something big on this size little wave he'll need something massive to deep right on that reef section there's not much water there they move around and and pump and drive on that section so see the even the tiny wave certain see they're really hard to perform on till time for two wives really in reality and here he goes on the first attempt now setting up a fun section for that vertical snap right down to the bottom full pressure can do funny things to it to a man counting and account it and right there that's what we were looking at that was pressure Medina paddling with on it's tough to own if he wants it now committing with priority right now down to the bottom all about maneuvers big lay back couch on the open face big trip to the tail off the roof Owen Roy had to take this way and then went to turns on it he was trying to improve on a four point two there did he could do that I think so they were two massive turn and that trip there what's his foci that is determination what he pulled that third maneuver out was desperate does he improve on the four point two if remembering the four point two is that chandelier earring section he we've averaged e barrel the salary Geeta's coming out of the pit behind a grab rail down carbonate transition already excited to celebrate he'll miss the finish he could still get back out there and get priority again Oh Android has to go that way but I don't think he could have let him have that first wave of the set but we've seen all of it with the second wave of the search team where the best ones have been and he got it with that barrel on the way behind Owen Owen looked like he did everything right and then this game came behind it look at him light drops tolls up box it in the tube great you leave s to bat the final so far ain't gonna be most probably the best score of the final so far Gabrielle McBay better close this thing out time was and it's gonna come down to review in the final exchange these two in a lot of respect for each other longtime teammates on Rip Curl to the best view key foots going from prestigious title here at Oakland Tahiti Charlie already celebrating as we still wait for the outcome from the judges upstairs well we saw Julian Wilson steal it from Gabriel Medina last he did he just steal it from Owen right snores coming in for the combination of maneuvers for Owen right on the last he did improve to a 5 5 7 mattina needs at least a 5 9 1 on his last way John deal might the trophies gone to Brazil the event titles going to Brazil for the seventh time this year and now it is official a 7 3 [Applause] and the Brazilian storm continues seven events six reserve winners and mattina is fighting for a second world title in a massive
