Slater switch footing in the tube
Checkout Slater’s incredible performance when, after netting his perfect 10, he went on to collect a 9.17 for an unbelievable switch-foot barrel.
Slater said “I got a pretty good barrel out the back and then I faded my bottom turn as much as I could before pulling up into that section and I knew I would have to switch stance to make it a good score ... When I did that, I lost all my speed and the barrel closed over me and I was able to reset and get under the lip before coming out again. Best switch-foot wave I’ve ever had.”
There's confidence then there's Slater.
