DOES SURFING HAVE A JUDGING PROBLEM?

WSL Peniche Pro Review

On this one

DOES THE WSL HAVE A JUDGING ISSUE? | RIP CURL PRO PORTUGAL RECAP 󰐨 Have the judges got it wrong, or are we surf fans just a little too passionate? 👀 This week on The LAGO Podcast, we kicked things off by diving into some of the WSL scores that had everyone talking. We unpack the controversial calls, debate whether there's a judging issue, and get into the rivalries between nations that make professional surfing so entertaining. Sometimes we might get a little too carried away… but that's half the fun, right? Then we break down everything that went down at the Rip Curl Pro Portugal in Peniche - the standout performances, the big talking points, and everything else that caught our attention. As always, we get brutally honest about what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we learned from the latest event. And to finish, we dive into the LAGO Fantasy League to see who came out on top and who's got some serious work to do before the next event. 🏆 Drop your thoughts in the comments…do the WSL have a judging issue, or are we all just a bit biased?
