To Claim or Not To Claim? #TOURNOTES

When is a prime time to claim? In the WSL‘s latest installment of #tournotes, a few of the top 34 give us the break down on how to claim and when claiming actually works. Claiming doesn’t make a 5 go to an 8, but if you need a 5.56, it’s a different story. Kelly Slater gives us the official rule to claiming. “Anything less than a 9 and you claim, you pay a 100 bucks,” he says. “And every point less than that is another 100 bucks on top of it.”
