January 8th was a good day for waves at Pipeline. Take Kelly Slater, for example. The King with the freshly-healed busted foot snuck into a nearly-perfect Backdoor gem, looked into the sun, set his rail, and found himself so slotted an exit seemed impossible. It’s entry number 50 for Surfline‘s Wave of the Winter. Kelly Slater at Backdoor is just so timeless, isn’t it?
