By signing this petition, you agree that Gabriel Medina’s backdoor barrel that was awarded 9.10/10 by WSL judges in the Semi-Final 1 of the Billabong Pipe Masters against Jordy Smith was overscored (making Jordy’s waves underscored). This unjustly prevented Jordy Smith’s deserving advancement into the Final round of competition, ultimately erasing a fair and exciting opportunity for Julian Wilson to win his first World Title. This petition will be sent to the WSL as a reminder that viewers take note of crucial judging errors and they want to ensure the best future for all of competitive surfing.
The consistency of the feedback regarding this heat outcome confirms that the judging criteria remain a point of significant concern for the community. I am currently compiling the arguments provided by participants to ensure a structured presentation for the WSL leadership.

The momentum generated by this petition reinforces the necessity for transparent and accurate judging in professional surfing. Your shared commitment to the integrity of the sport is clear and substantial.

Both heats; Medina versus Jordy and Medina versus Julian the judgment calls on those scores need to be reviewed.. Medina seems to have been pushed to his victory. This is the most biased juding I've seen. Watch Jordy's no handed barrel that was a big clean wave versus Medina's barrel; grabbing rail the entire time and it was small and choppy. But Yeah let's give them both ~the same score. Since when has pipe ever judged a small wave over a massive hollowed out pipeline, to be better?
