The sport of surfing involves numerous tricks and turns in it, and American surfer Kelly Slater is acquainted with them all. In his more-than-three-decades-long career, Kelly Slater has surfed on various beaches, won numerous titles, and has had almost all kinds of experiences any surfer can have. So it’s natural that there are several young surfers who idolize and follow his methods. Waterman Noah Flegel is one such surfer who, inspired by Slater, was trying out a new trick.

Noah Flegel is an athlete from Fort Lauderdale, Florida who recently shared a unique trick he did on his surfboard. The waves were particularly fierce and the trick wasn’t easy to pull off.

Surfing tricks pass on from the master to the newer generation

Kelly Slater recently took to his Instagram stories and wrote, “Foil Death Spin”. He attached a video of Flogel alongside where the 26-year-old surfer and waterman was riding a wave when he suddenly decided to jump and flip while on his surfboard.

The video was originally shared by Flegel in his Instagram story, where he wrote, “A trick inspired by @kellyslater, need to get the double grab next time..” Grabs in surfing are the air reverse stunts that surfers are often seen doing. There are various kinds of grabs, unlike a death spin, that is done while riding a wave.

Be it the Frontside Grab, Double Grab, Slob grab, Frontside lien Grab, Backside lien Grab, or Stalefish Grab, Kelly Slater has performed them all throughout his career. Slater had mastered the death spin quite a long time ago, and the newer generation of surfers are only following him in his tricks.

How Slater mastered almost every surfing trick there is

A 2015 Tweet by the New York Times went, “Surfer Kelly Slater conquered ‘the death spin'”. It then continued, “Now he’s wading into fashion”. However, the death spin in this context is what Slater had performed over and over again in his career. The 11x WSL champion has surfed in almost every corner of the world from Hawaii to Australia. He has won the World Surf League a record 11 times, and yet he isn’t flawless. He still goes out into the waters with the same excitement as it’s his first day, open to learning what the wave has to offer.

Noah Flegel, on the other hand, is slowly making his name in all board sports. As a waterman, he does foiling, wakeboarding, wake-surfing, etc, and all to entertain his fans. Taking a leaf out of Kelly Slater’s book for one such entertaining trick is certainly another fun thing he did.
