watched most of it... the thing that jogged my memory was the HB contest part ... i remember gerry at the time was being touted as the side slip king... which was at the time the most progressive move in surfing...then it just disappeared... buried under the quest for the greenroom... was wondering if the side slip is just a relic of the single fin era or could it have a place in the modern surfing repertoire

I remember Herbie Fletcher was a master of that move.

J. Riddle did some cool slidey stuff back in the day, too.
