“There’s no real way to objectively judge surfing because waves are different heights, different lengths, there’s different maneuvers you can do, different numbers of maneuvers you can do, different levels of difficulty for each one. Your timing, the power, the technique…all these things create a dynamic score in a judges mind.” –Kelly Slater

Enlightening little video from Wired Magazine featuring Kelly Slater as he demystifies some of the finer point of surfing that general public may not be aware of. Who knew Aussie surfers preferred to strap their boards to their cars nose forward? Nice little factoid Kelly.
