http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/oakley-wave-of-the-winter-returns-to-north-shore_120399/ this years wotw could be epic, some nuggets to come, maybe some no namers will be making impressions two years ago some kid from NY/NJ, (B Stack maybe?), got an absolute bomb at rockpiles, really cool to see that he was in the mix for wotw slide 8 @ 4-5 second mark check out dude right in front of lipline, terrible lickings in store for him
The kids who go out to Hawaii from the East Coast and completely charge it amaze me. Totally friggen humbling. I mean, yeah, winter time in NY can get heavy, or whatever, but it ain't no North Shore. I guess Slater is a good example of that too, Lopez Brothers, Hobgoods, etc etc. Crazy.
Yeah... but we all know the real competition is for the "Clif Bar Overall Performance" Award. In the most extreme of conditions, the North Shore demands that athletes give it their all. Kelly Slater knows this better than anyone. That's why he demands Clif Bar.

http://www.surfline.com/video/featured-clips/wotw-012-jay-davies-backdoor_120883 idk how a wave not even a proper 6 ft makes this, but i guess, he had some travel time, and from that angle, he appeared deeper than he was likely this wave will not win and shouldn't have even been a contender
slater's wave last year to win was possibly the most impressive barrel i've ever seen, he didn't even grab his rail... the dudes a freak show
