This is pro surfing. Drop in, cut in the pocket, off the lip to a nose pick 360. It's so boring at this point, its unwatchable. This maneuver from Slater was 10x more interesting.
He was underscored for this carve which only he did in the whole contest. Everyone did floaters and lip slashes and tube rides but nobody else even tried this 360 tells you all you need to know. They are all capable of it. They will do an air before they try this. Poor judgement on the part of the judges in this case.
@@ItsWesSmithYo that's the reason why I don't enjoy surf competitions, so predictable, boring and most times not creative, it's like seeing padel tennis instead of real tennis... Clay Marzo, Ozzie Wright, etc, those are the real guys doing funny things
@@derekjohnlamoya2037 nothing like tom Carroll, first million dollar contract surfer, he snapped cutbacks at pipe in critical section, not after on the shoulder
@scott-gy6fe ok but times have changed tech has changed. Kelly has done his thing. Hes in his 50s still at a top level. Kai is on another planet as far as a water man. Hell you could say he's riding a single foil on Jaws His big wave game is insane He brought alot of innovation to the jetski toe in with his brother and Hawaii rescue squad. His wind surfing and kiting and paddle Boarding all at top level . Plus he's also pushing the foils and wings! He'd like Lair Hamilton 2.0 And seems he's great dad! And Slater was on Baywatch Banging Pam Anderson! 😃

Kelly Slater doesn't need to prove anything, he is just trolling everyone else😂😂
@@m.a.g.3920true but still reinforces the WSL judging problem, which to your point, he is probably trolling as well. Proof is in the pudding. 😂

100% I've never seen a pro surfer pull this 360 in a contest. It's HARD.
Way more radical then a top turn. So underrated.

Jock was doing carving 360's on a 7' Brewer v-bottom back in '69.
The goat lives on
@@johnmartin2079 do we have any footage of Kelly at the Wedge?
And no reward even. Though none of the judges would be capable of this move
THE BEST STILL THE BEST
He got robbed
Cheyne Horan?
That's a 10...
Slats still showing everyone how its done 🤟
まじ?
Aye...karamba.
Not impressed with him or the more graceful ballerina style kai lenny skurfing
Not impressed with later or Lenny?
