The Internet combusted when Kelly Slater stuck what we’ll call — for
the sake of this video — a big ol’ spin in Portugal. Clicks rained and
poured on every single media outlet this side (the good side) of
buzzfeed and scrolls of rabble collected in comment sections. Most
people said Kelly’s air was a 540. Others claimed 720. Some even rabbled
that Zoltan Torkos Sr. landing a 540 in a semifinal heat against Johnny
Laybacks at the No Fear Classic, Santa Cruz, 1997. A fiery blaze.
