    For real

    That was sick. What was even better was that he did it right as Mick Fanning was paddling out for his heat.

    Nope....but Kaluhiokalani (aka Buttons) can do a switch revert cutback. Well....maybe if he can stay off the drugs.

    Watch Stylemasters the last part at the end on Buttons. He is insane. (was)

    KS is the best there is hands down....but i still can't stand him. Mick Fanning on the other hand i would like to see him achieve some goals.

    I thought this was a pretty case closed comparison, is there really anyone else to compare him too.

    Sure there may be guys pulling sicker stuff than him, but he gets it done come contest time. He's been getting it done for a long amount of time as well.

    Yeah, there are definitely guys that kill it. But they just can't pull the trigger within a 25 minute window like Slater can. It's like rooting for your home team too. There are a lot of guys I think kill it and seem like awesome dudes (taj, mick, etc.)..... but they're from another country. Sometimes you gotta stick with your representation and give them props for holding it down. USA USA USA!!!

    Bruce is a beast. He'll follow the path of Shane Dorian and charge chopes all summer, after he's done with the tour.

    Dane reynolds is my favorite surfer. Not of all time, taj burrow holds that spot for me but damn, anyone else buy his quiksilver vid that came out awhile ago? Rediculously sick.
