Don't forget that Lisa Andersen won about 5 world titles too...
My 2 cents:
I think FL surfers are more hungry and are more 'international ' than ppl realise. Their sponsors always send them on trips away from FL bc their waves are quite inconsistent, hence their comfort in heavy wave zones (eg. Slater at Pipe, Hobgoods in Fiji, Cory Lopez in that Teauhopoo bomb)...
Mainland US surfers get spoilt the most with sponsorship and trips away bc thats where the US surf market is. Seems to make them soft in the competitive sense...
HI surfers: well, when you live in tropical paradise, what motivation is there to surf 1ft onshore Brazil?
Aussie surfers: We got great waves, a great surfing heritage and we are a very competitive sporting nation. Comp surfing is supported from a very young age although what I said about Mainland US surfers can also apply to us...
nothing like philosophizing about competitive surfing on a Friday morning at work...
