I watched a few vids of this day but really liked your cuz it was just straight up - no background music etc. Felt like just being there as a spectator which I what I wanted. Long Live Surfin! Sitting at my desk in Baltimore it does me good to see this.
Such a perfect video of that Sunday at Ocean Beach! I was sitting on the opposite side and it really looked like that barrel just swallowed him whole. Looking at this video you can see Slater created the barrel by riding fast and high and rode the close-out all the way through like a pit-bull on meth. True Entertainment!
For sure one of the top highlights I the contest, and it didn't even count. Truly amazing to see this live at our home break. The entire beach went apesh*t.
Great catch by both of you! Thanks for such an awesome moment!
From the shore, and with the left current, the crowd was in line with the whitewater, and had counted it unlikely to be makeable after 3 seconds on a barrel-less day. You can hear the friendly sigh at 1:51. But he ends up coming out at 1:52, after starting at 1:48, a solid 4 seconds. The horn was the start of the next heat, not the end of his, but what a resounding exclamation point on a pure soul ride of no point value!
Is that OB in San Diego or San Francisco?

On an ESPN interview, Ke11y said that the wave 30 seconds after his heat was " one of the best I've had all year."

That tube wasn't to be believed when watching it live. Way to stamp it even if after the hooter.

Way to get that amazing last tube ride of Kelly's -- none of Rip Curl's cameras got that whole ride on film.
