Air hustle: Seth Moniz lands a monster rotation

Seth Moniz just landed a really big double grab rotation. It isn’t a clean buck fifty like Kelly’s frontside 540 in Portugal, but it is rotated a little past 360. He also doesn’t revert; the nose comes back out straight. Rough IG compression aside, it’s a wildly good, and really big, air. Especially for a 17-year-old… @sethmoniz: Here’s a wave from my 5 hour session yesterday. Kind of a bummer my filmer @coleyamane decided to load the camera in his water housing right when I caught it. Luckily @kazsano was filming from a different angle but stopped recording before I rode out of the white wash. I know some of you will doubt it was a make or not with this footage but I’m still psyched on it. Enjoy! @haynsupahman @kekoabacalso @noamizuno @like_the_fish ||@billabong @tokorosurfboards @dakine @dvshawaii @dragonalliance @vertra A video posted by sethmoniz (@sethmoniz) on Jun 3, 2015 at 5:57pm PDT
