Clip of the Day: Slater Survives!

What do you get when you cross the world's most popular surfer with the world's most populace wave? Slater at Malibu! Yes, the Jimmy Slade Baywatch reunion you've been waiting for (without a drunk Hasslehoff or a plastic Pamela). Sorry, lots of bad jokes. Anyway, that big southwest swell last week rolled through Trestles, Huntington Beach and eventually to Malibu where half of the L.A. County inmates decided to paddle out. And the 18X World Champ (or something like that) decided to have a go at it. Check out his first wave in particular- he must have done 4 solid turns and dodged twice as many goons. Hopefully if you've ever had the urge to paddle out at Malibu and cross the place off your bucket list, you won't after watching this video.
