If you're like me the first thought that ran through your head after looking at the first shot of Gabriel Medina is 'did he land it?' Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, we don't know and photographer Dunbar wasn't saying, but how about halting the inquisition a moment and simply admiring the height. Understand it's no tow in, tow out, or tow at - whatever you wanna call it - but a straight paddle and pump achievement.

Which is mighty fine if you ask us. The second shot of the drop in on Filipe Toledo ain't too bad either. Is it a case of young Brazilians vying for Top Dog? Now there's a question worth asking.

All shots by Matt Dunbar.
