A Black & White Surf Clip You’ll Actually Enjoy

Was Kelly Slater the first person to wear a pure white wetsuit? I’d like to believe so, but I actually have no idea. Whatever its origins, a few Californians have since adopted this showboaty trend, including Kolohe Andino, Kei Kobayashi, and Matt King, but none have worn it with such authority as a young, hot Slater. He was invincible in that ivory neoprene, as nothing but nothing could knock him from his gecko-grip feet. 

Aussie airboy Coby Perkovich ain’t no Slater, but he does rock his bright white wettie with a certain Je na Sais Quoi, as seen in the video above. Watch as Coby decimates the east coast in his pigmentless jumper, and tell us if he’s worthy of its head-turning tendencies. We vote yes.
