The year that was 2012 Happy New Year everyone! January 5, 2013 – Tags: , , ,

The year that was 2012 in surfing, alot of people including myself thought that it was going to be KS12, thankfully for
Aussies though, Joel Parkinson came through & took it to the 11 time world champ at Pipeline in Hawaii to take the line honors & get his maiden world title! A huge achievement that the whole country seems to be enjoying.
Forgetting about world titles though, how about the controversial win Julian Wilson had over Gabriel Medina in the Portugal world tour event in 2012, even all these months on when i bought this one up to a few mates the debate still burnt brightly, my answer is if you were not there watching it out of the judging tower then it is hard to say who got scores or who didnt etc especially when it is that close.
Perhaps John John tickled your fancy this year the whiz kid Hawaiian won the third event of the season on his rookie year at Brazil & was a genuine world title threat right up until pipeline! John John Florence has arrived ladies n gentlemen i think he will be top 5 for years to come!
Then there is the man in the photo mr Taj Burrow, a favourite of ours here at TWS he blew up this year winning two events something he has only done once before, but didnt carry the consistency through the year to get the world title that he so thoroughly deserves. It is like i have been saying since Mick won his first world title though, if Joel & Taj can get one then Australian surfing is complete, Joel got 2012 so Perhaps 2013 is the year of Taj?
