Most of us would go bananas over an eight-second, 26-frame barrel. But not Kelly Slater — gems like these are all in a day's work for the coolest cucumber ever to take a dip in the sea.

Kelly Slater, Fiji. Sequence: Peter “Joli” Wilson

 

And the winner is JHawk of Mt. Pleasant, SC: "Bull riders claim the rodeo is 'the most dangerous eight seconds in sports,' but who cares? Kelly Slater knows there's no better way to spend eight seconds than ass-dragging his way through a perfect Fijian tube."

Honorable mention goes to Hobesoundsurf of Hobe Sound, FL: "'I don't normally drag ass... but when I do, it's in thick lefthanders'."

And Eddie Guilbeau of Melbourne Beach, FL: "Kelly keeps his composure as cameras capture clip after clip at Cloudbreak."

 

JHawk will receive a pair of prescription-friendly Hobie Polarized Olas sunglasses in Brown Wood Grain frame and HydroClean Polycarbonate Copper lens, featuring TR-90 frame material, 8 base curve, integrated hinge, Megol nose pads and sweat bar/anti fog gasket (www.HobiePolarized.com). Second, a pair of Liberated China's soft, durable, quick-drying Panda Jams, featuring DWR finish, SPF 30, and comfortable Velcro closure and tie waist (www.LiberatedChina.com). And finally, four bars of Warm Water Famous Wax to grip up your stick (www.FamousWax.com).
