Slater & Head Judge Richie Porta break down that air

Every armchair critic, blogger and surfer has had an opinion about that air from Kelly Slater in round 5 at the Trestles Hurley Pro. Mainstream media even chimed in, lambasting the judges for the 4.17 despite the huge reaction it received from the public. Indeed it was critical, impossible and damn right freakish – all of what we’ve come to expect from the 43 year-old, 11-time world champion. Finally the WSL have sat down with Kelly, Commentator Ross Williams and WSL Head Judge Richie Porta to get the final word as they break down the judging criteria and give a blow-by-blow account of the move that rocked the world.

Tasmanian Pointbreak Perfection

This incredible drone footage from Stu Gibson of a perfect Tasmanian pointbreak is really something to marvel. The wave requires a huge swell for it to get going but when the elements align it can provide one of the longest leg burning rides of your life. It’s isolation and fickle nature make the rewards that much more satisfying, unless of course you’re the poor chap that gets burnt at the 0:25 – ouch!
