Apart from owen wright no one else got beyond vertical in this event. kelly with both of those manoeuvres ticked all the boxes in the judging criteria whereas john john ticked the commitment and flow box but i do not deny the 10 he scored i just say kelly was underscored for both these moves. tell me who else in the world can even do a carving 360 point me to a vid.
Others can do em & honestly hard to compare surfers of this caliber they all have there own style, good &. better days. That said I love Slater's style & he legitimately earned everything he's accomplished therefore, he's the goat. As far as contests human judgement is bias
The first 41 seconds were a waste of video time, and the slow mo is lame. Just do it straight, and it would be so damn cool, but you make it lame. Kelly Slater is at the top, do it justice on video next time, you didn't do it here.

Kelly Slater is probably the first person I saw surfing during this life I have now on Earth 5/9/2014. Or maybe it was in the movie 'Surf Ninjas'.
360 TURN IS INSANE
Totally agree with you on that.

0:50 Whoa!
whats with the random stopping?
isnt that a carving 360? kellys the only one that can do those?
seen taj do them...i'm sure mick and a bunch of others can do these...dane etc etc..
these are not necessarily the 2 best moves of the event, maybe by slater, john john's air, for example, is getting a lot of attention
Kelly is the only one who fall on the wave n back on his board
seriously underscored. but so it goes in competitive surfing.
on a second note, Double Juan ripped. and got the win!
Yeah Pius boys
was robbed at Bells more or less for same 360 that didn't even get a 9. guess he makes it look too easy..
this doesnt even make sense with the assignment sheet though haha
agree, and they robbed him of bells too!!!
cant win em all
