Surfing legend Kelly Slater completed a mind-boggling wave despite falling off his board inside the barrel

• Most mere mortals who have attempted to surf struggle just stand up on the board once, but surfing legend Kelly Slater is no mere mortal.
• During Round Three of the 2018 Billabong Pipe Masters in Hawai'i, Slater was going head-to-head with Filipe Toledo when he was knocked off his board in the middle of a barrel.
• Somehow, Slater was able to control his board and get back up while still inside the barrel.
• Even Slater appeared to be awestruck by the move.
• Slater has seen limited action over the last 18 months due to a series of foot injuries, including a gruesome broken foot that required surgery.
