KILLER Ending on Slats almost perfect wave ''9.70''
Round 1 of competition this afternoon. Slater’s commanding display at Rincon point netted him the day’s high heat total of an 18.07 out of a possible 20, including a near-perfect 9.70 on his final wave of the heat.
"I switched to the Weirdo Ripper'' ” Slater said. “I drifted in towards the end of the heat and that wave (9.70) wasn’t very big, but it looked like it was going to run a bit better and it just allowed for a good amount of turns.”
The Brazilian guys are ripping! How was that wave of Willian Cardoso? Still the tops guys are killing it!!
