Nas semis Gudauskas venceu por uma diferença mínima contra o local Jordy Smith. O sulafricano ficou sem sentir o gostinho da final por 0.26 de deferença.
Florence venceu sua bateria com 11.20 de somatória contra 10.83 de Julian Wilson.
Os brasileiros Junior Faria e Jesse Mendes não conseguiram chegar as semis, porém os critérios de julgamento tiveram até discussão na areia do evento, onde muitos atletas consideraram que houve pontuação a menos para a bandeira verde-amarelo.
Faria perdeu contra Gudauskas e Medes contra Jordy Smith.

Maybe he placed 27th in the race for the title of 2011, was not the most obvious bet this event, to begin to topple their opponents. Julian Wilson, Jordy Smith JJ and Florence were also in the quarterfinals and the bets fall on them.
Junior Faria lost in the quarterfinals against just Gudauskas that tipped the race to score against selective guarujaense 9.27. Jesse Mendes on drums following Jordy Smith lost to a minor difference in a race where few waves have high chance to score. In fact, Jesse got the best and had a score of 10. Too bad the battery was in the final minutes and he can not change your second note [2.73]. Okay, he did a great campaign and joined the select club of note 10 in this historic event.
John John was feeling at home. With a quiver that usually use at Pipe and Backdoor score reached 19:40 [9.77 + 9.63] against Thorton Blake in the quarterfinals. Then, in half, run down to the sea by the wind, without the tubes that rolled all week, just skimmed by Julian Wilson, who had shipped in the quarter Heath Joske, muto without effort.

Talvez ele, 27° colocado na disputa ao título de 2011, não fosse a aposta mais óbvia desse evento, até começar a derrubar seus oponentes. Julian Wilson, Jordy Smith e J.J. Florence também estavam nas quartas de final e as apostas recaiam sobre eles.
Junior Faria perdeu nas quartas justamente contra Gudauskas que desequilibrou a disputa ao marcar 9.27 contra o seletivo guarujaense. Na bateria seguinte Jesse Mendes perdeu para Jordy Smith por uma diferença menor numa disputa onde poucas ondas deram chance de high score. Aliás, Jesse pegou a melhor e mandou uma nota 10. Pena que a bateria estava nos minutos finais e ele não pode trocar sua segunda nota [2.73]. Tudo bem, ele fez uma ótima campanha e entrou para o seleto clube dos nota 10 nesse evento histórico.
John John estava sentindo-se em casa. Com um quiver que costuma usar em Pipe e Backdoor chegou a marcar 19.40 [9.77 + 9.63] contra Blake Thorton nas quartas. Depois, na semi, com o mar degradado pelo vento, sem os tubos que rolaram durante toda semana, passou raspando por Julian Wilson, que havia despachado Heath Joske nas quartas, sem muto esforço.

Shaun Tomson compared the power of the waves of Surfers Beach with Backdoor and Off the Wall. If he says I believe. Kolohe Andino said that these were the best waves of life. JJ Florence almost scored a perfect score on the final day of competition.
Incredible, from the first round Ballito provided some of the best waves that the Tour has ever seen, but ... The format of the event, with so many stages, including playoffs, proved once again at odds with the odds of nature. Five days of perfect waves, with good size and training has been almost a miracle. Wait for the end to roll in the waves would be best to wait.


Shaun Tomson comparou o poder das ondas de Surfers Beach com Backdoor ou Off the Wall. Se ele diz eu acredito. Kolohe Andino declarou que essas foram as melhores ondas da vida. J.J. Florence quase marcou um score perfeito no último dia de competição.
Incrível, desde o primeiro round Ballito forneceu algumas das melhores ondas que o Tour já viu, mas… O formato dos eventos, com tantas fases, incluindo repescagem, provou-se mais uma vez em desacordo com as probabilidades da natureza. Cinco dias de ondas perfeitas, com bom tamanho e formação já foi quase um milagre. Esperar que as finais rolassem nas melhores ondas seria esperar demais.

STRAIGHT FINAL
Jordy Patrick went through with a difference of only 0.14, a battery of little waves. JJ Florence did the only really interesting wave early in the match against Julian and won by 0.37. What a pity, these semis could have happened yesterday, those waves of 8 to 10 feet, emburacadas. But life on the tour so, and the final went to the sea. Patrick set the battery to the 7:17 mark, the highest score before the end kind of boring the rest of the event. Florence made 4.00 and 4.03. Floaters, torn, last one under the lipe ... It must be weird to win a final after picking up so many tubes in disputes insane really exciting, but I think Patrick was very happy and must have desentalado the defeat suffered against Miguel Pupo there Trestles.
Good thing Julian Wilson traveled to Africa with 12 boards.
