Kelly Slater Scores a Perfect 10 at the 2019 Billabong Pipe Masters

Watch Kelly Slater ride a Perfect 10-point wave at Banzai Pipeline, during his Round of 32 heat of the 2019 Billabong Pipe Masters.

Eleven-time world champion and seven-time Billabong Pipe Master Kelly Slater earned a Perfect 10-point ride for an unthinkable right-handed Backdoor barrel that he deemed the best in years.

"That's the best wave I've had out here in a few years, I think, at Backdoor. I kept trying to doggy door the thing and I couldn't, and I was like, 'No it's not going to let me out, it's not going to let me out!'" explained Slater.

"It reminded me of one I had in the first Backdoor Shootout where I just kept going and going and kept bouncing open for me, and I just snuck out the end."

"I didn't take the line I wanted because I was trying to come out earlier, but I just had to keep going and hope the white water didn't get me before I got out."
