Yago Dora, Matt McGillivray, Kade Matson | Lexus Pipe Pro presented by YETI – Opening Round

Yeah so I mean obviously we’re down here at Pipeline and um we’ve sent this to the Surfers this morning in English and Portuguese which is you know part of our push this year to to be really transparent with them and to give as much information as possible as we have

Yod Dora setting up for another great year on tour coming off an incredible season last year where we’ll go back to live action quickly Matthew mcgil getting the opening wave of the season so him checking out the lineup with Brent power you see him taking off just enough right there um getting under

Up nice section from behind like still not as wide of a barrel as you expect for back door mostly usually yeah I think he’s just filled with gratitude you know for coming as long as he has been from losing major sponsors gaining new ones and now qualifying with his

Best friends this one’s bottoming out sliding out and hanging on to that rail is Maddie McGill remember he likes jumping out of planes for fun so when he feels that weight list feeling out of the sky he’s in his happy place the judges love to

See us see how um steep that drop was losing the rail and being able to engage again and drive through that Barrel that was so critical of him and he’s going to get rewarded on that check this out disengage the fins right there and somehow able to re-engage the rail and

Come out of the um of the barrel with the big spit that was um parking it here since early November and not leaving the North Shores paid off for mcil as he’s up again wild one here big cave kind of looks nuts on the inside so he’ll wisely

Get out of there can really show what he can do on his backend sometimes those rightand Point breakell Specialists are kind of just famous for Point Break surfing but mcil so well rounded as Kate Matson gets a promising opener welcome to the tour yeah I’ve been I’ve been very

Impressed with K the last few days great great score but it’s a great start for him and we see Yago on the other hand Yago throwing down the wrapping turn getting his opening wave of the Season there’s a little section to throw the tail to the sky but he’ll end up

Incomplete number seven in the world last year and the boys already checking out the clips from Kade as we take another look Yago is W from start to finish Jesse that looked like a beautiful wave we saw just um from here on but nice cut back right there and

That’s what Yago has an advantage I feel like on this heat he’s um such a good Rayo and air Surfer as we had Yago get this wave during the break yeah that looked like a better wave for him um just coming out with the spit which that

Shows how deep he was in that wave obviously not the most intense ride we had it so far but he was able to get deep go through the fumble right there and that’s going to probably give him a decent score and put him in the heat love that approach often compared

To Jerry Lopez with that style looking so calm under pressure yeah Yago is just look at that technique just stalling when you’re able to stall and that um Steep and um strong of a wave it just shows how much ability and confidence this has in this type of wave he’s been

Coming here for a long time and his just when he went down to EO that was eo’s World title years as we’ve got8 minutes on the clock knifing this one and pulling under the hood stretching out beautifully for Maddie McGill there’s the spit and where is the

Man oh unfortunately he got clipped but what a great angle on that wave at pipeline just see how he’s reading the ocean so well Dora has to straighten out on a big close out shutting down his wave previous was the 583 that he made that did bump him into second

Put Cade down to third now Matson holds priority with 635 to go down the reef and now a wild one for Madson oh and a tough spot to go down getting hung up off the top and Kade had the make on his start and a big wipe out but he’s

Already heading out the back already into the countdown looks like Kade is going to make a move split Peak sticking with mson this one moving quickly at back door no option to pull in for Madson and nothing happened for mckill on the left so this one’s just about wrapped impressive performance getting

That early start where is the only one catching waves and it’s certainly paid off Dora safe in second and the rookie from s many Kade will be surfing later on today in the elimination round
