Long gone are the days of the retro JBG "tough guy" claim that usually involves some sort of nut grab and flip off....
(click to enlarge)
The days of the Slater "in your face claim" have passed....
Even the more subtle single fist pump has had it's year in the sun and it's days are numbered....
This is quickly becoming an era of the Latino based "vergas" finger snap claim! Of course a few of my good Mexican buddies like Oscar Moncada, David Rutherford and Kalle Carranza have been owning this stylish claim for years but as I've been watching the six star prime in Brazil and the four star in Australia the last few days it is apparent that this movement has gone global......If you just SHREDDED a wave so hard that the judges are gonna have a hard time debating between the score of a 9 or a 10, you NEED to add in the "VERGAS" finger snap to seal the deal.

Luckily for you guys Sterling Spencer has recently compiled a sort of "how to" video showing even the novice surfer how it's done.
Condolences go out to Sterling and his family who lost his father (the great Yancy Spencer III) just a few days ago.
