Ryan Hipwood and Mark Mathews Score Perfect, Yet Sharky Australian Slab

Would you go or nah?

We frickin’ love slabs. And as you can image, we get very excited when we see that lovely 4-letter word. Our friends over at MySurf.tv followed two of Australia’s finest slab-hunters, Ryan Hipwood and Mark Mathews, as they go on a day trip to an unknown New South Wales slab, scoring amazing waves with just a handful of locals. “It breaks on a shallow reef,” Hipwood explained. “It doesn’t really have a channel, and a lot of ’em you have to doggy-door it and come out the front. And it’s sharky too.” It’s pretty epic to see Red Bull (Mathews) vs. Monster Energy (Hipwood) go head-to-head in a battle for this day’s slab king. Question is: which energy drink won?
