    On paper, both are 720's if one includes rotation in the whitewash to be valid. Hubb goes 540 fully clean, but goes hidden in the wash to complete the 720. Otavio just fails to hit the 540 point before becoming part of the wash/completing the rest of the 720 rotation. IMHO, until any sponge does the complete 720 cycle showing the body clearly rotating 720 in the air, these will only be 540's completing a 720 via wash. Regardless, they are sick and Otavia is insane style wise.

    I love a lot of what this guy does and the power of the waves he is charging, but this reverse is rediculous. Sure, the wave forms/pushes him into the maneuver just right, and he doesn't look so clean like this were it not for how he timed it "and" more importantly how the wave and him just meshed so well, but still doesn't excuse the fact that it's easily one of the "biggest" and most beautiful air reverse's I've seen in any vid.

  3. Glad to run into this vid. This guy has beautiful style. Will have to watch more vids of him now, but from a first view, it's hard to argue he's not in a league of his own with very few to join him. Reminds me of a Paul Roach for drop DK.

  4. wow this spot is like a more treacherous puerto escondido. It's like trying to surf puerto during the afternoon when it's choppy…it's just something that people don't do. I can't believe how good this spot gets thouh …when it's smaller it resembles aliso when it had the pier.

  5. surfa muito…. Otávio um de meus ídolos….não ficando de fora entre os top…Daniel rocha, Paulo barcelos, Pablo rodrigo, Diego cabral, Roberto bruno, Jeferson anute, Hermano castro, Uri valadão e o melhor dos melhores… Gt….quer ganhar, quer ganhar? o gt vai te ensinar!
