Kelly Slater’s Epic Cloudbreak Breakdown!

'Cause who else y'gonna ask?

Yeah, it’s a year old. But why not replay something if it’s going to bring a little exultance into your life? And, especially now, with the Fiji Pro (no naming sponsor! Yike), two weeks away.

As far as wave breakdowns go, this is as incisive as it is entertaining. Some of them I’ve seen are awful, dull as anything, superficial without any research, but Slater has given much thought to the problems of lineups and reefs and as he takes off from Tavarua and soars over the Cloudbreak reef.

We discover his favourite lineup (get your marks from the judging tour which stands year-round half-way up the reef and the mountain behind), the peculiarities of the reef as well as the best swell direction (205-215 degrees).

Watch!
