It’s easy to sit at a computer screen and chuckle and point out what went wrong here for Alex Martins. But it’s a whole other story when you’re out there, with a powerful swell and a solid, competitive crowd.
One things for sure the Brazilian mad man was swinging from way behind the peak here, and just to make it worse it’s a rare Mav’s closeout. Fair play to him though he didn’t flinch, took off, and just squeaked under the lip, but you can bet your soul that he got the beating of a lifetime.
