Gabriel Medina Just Threw This Buttery Kerrupt Flip at the Surf Ranch for the Highest Score of the Day

Medina took the overall lead, too.

Gabriel Medina finished the day here at the Surf Ranch right, ripping the face off the man-made wave and throwing a perfectly-timed (and perfectly clean) “Kerrupt Flip” and nabbing the day’s highest score with a 9.3–and that’s saying a lot considering Jordy Smith tossed both a rodeo and an alley-oop. The Brazilian claimed the number one seed following his second run with a combined score of 17.50 (9.30 + 8.40).
