Clip of the Day: Euro Battle

By now you've seen the footage of Gabriel Medina launching 6' on a 2' wave in Portugal. Pretty impressive. (And if you haven't, check the video above). But the rest of the tour has been in Europe too (remember guys like Kelly, Jordy, Parko, and Julian)? They've got their own clips too and they're just as impressive.

 
Take Jordy for instance. He was the new hot thing on tour before Dane left and Gabriel showed up. Jordy absolutely destroys some small Portugal beachbreak in the clip above. Funny, 'cause the surf in the clip looks like North County's waves today, but there's no way in hell I'm going to do turns like that at Moonlight. Used to though. I could've been pro you know. And everyones favorite son right now (unless your Brazilian) is North County's own Julian Wilson (ok so his brother lives here- but Julian visits a lot so that counts- heck- we stole Rob Machado from Australia, didn't we? Could happen to Julian too). Julian systematically takes apart some junky French beachbreaks while mysto figure Dane Reynolds makes a short appearance. Good to see Dane get out of California once in awhile.
