Seth Moniz's Show Stealing 9.87 Inverted Corked-Out Rotation - 2018 Vans US Open Of Surfing #shorts

Seth Moniz brought the crowd to their feet with what could turn out to be the best air of 2018. Stroking into a chunky reform, he drove down the line on his backhand and threw up the ultimate Hail Mary. An inverted, corked-out rotation, he landed flat on his back in the whitewater before somehow finding his footing and riding out of it. "That was the craziest wave I've ever had in a heat," said Moniz after being mobbed on the beach. "I was actually going to go for a throw-tail but kind of mistimed it. I kicked my board out a little too hard and thought I lost it when it separated from my feet. As I was coming down I just laid flat and then I felt my board grip. Sometimes when you land flat-backed like that the whitewash pushes you back up and that's pretty much how it happened." #shorts The Vans US Open of Surfing is one of the sport’s greatest traditions. At the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, Rio Waida, Caity Simmers, and the world’s top up-and-coming surfers face off in front of huge crowds as they battle to qualify for the Championship Tour and join the hallowed list of US Open champions.
