Below are the impressions of "MAYHEM" who watched the Miyazaki ISA World Contest on WEB LIVE.
LOST surfboard team ace Kolohe Andino came in second place at the ISA World Contest held in Japan.
Combined with the results of Carissa Moore of the LOST surfboard team, who came in fourth place,
LOST surfboards helped the USA team win the silver medal.
Kolohe Andino was riding the 5'11"
#DRIVER_2 .0.
The final air was his bold, coordinated grab.
He spun around and landed cleanly before the final buzzer sounded, scoring 9.43.
Even though this ride was worth 10 points, he still didn't win the event.
But in my biased opinion, the air has always been great.
I thought it was closer to "perfect" than the 10 points given by "Italo."
I think the Olympic judges should have placed more importance on the clean, gymnastic landing rather than the excitement over Italo's ability to regain his balance after the fall.
Indeed, if we compare it to gymnastics, "Italo" is like falling over and then getting up again.
Nishii was also watching the game on-site and wondered why it wasn't given 10 points.
In the competitors' waiting room, Kolohe showed Nishii the boards he was riding in the ISA World Contest, and he told us that in the smaller wave heats he was riding a 5'10" DRIVER 2.0 made of EPS foam, and when the waves started to get bigger for the last three days he switched to a 5'11" DRIVER 2.0 made of POLY foam. The 5'11" DRIVER 2.0 made of POLY foam that he was riding in the final was also the board he was riding in the J-BAY event.
Kolohe's riding video from the IISA World Contest is currently being edited and will soon be completed! It will be released first on this 24's blog, so look forward to it!!
