Intro:

The top three contenders look ahead to the final event in surfing's World Championship Tour.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Gabriel Medina, Brazil:
"It's sick. I think everyone, not just surfers, but everyone from our countries Australia, USA and Brazil are really excited to watch it and it will be exciting. Everyone is exciting and, yes, I can't wait to surf."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Gabriel Medina, Brazil:
"That would mean a lot to me, to be the first Brazilian World Champion. We've never had one and this is the moment. I can't wait to surf."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mick Flanagan, Australia:
"No it's amazing. As a fan, I'm super excited to see what happens and to be in that area, you want to, you just want to give it your best and just see if you can do the things that you think about doing and yes, it's really exciting. I just hope that we can all get some good waves, put on a good show and finish out what has been an incredible year on tour."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kelly Slater, USA:
"You know sometimes if you get far ahead, you slack a little bit and I think that Gabs (Gabriel) really let us reel him in. I've had every opportunity in the last four events to reel him right back in and I should be ahead if I'd played my cards right but I've made a lot of mistakes right behind his mistakes and every time he opened the door, I didn't take advantage of it so that's the way it goes. But maybe that could all be for some glorious finish which would be awesome for me, or maybe that's just the way it goes this year."
