The kid has been making name this year, especially when he went out and won the Volcom Pro Junior at Cloudbreak in front of a global web audience. I have been lucky enough to spend some time with Slade this year and I can tell you 3 things about him. First, he is a really nice guy and very polite. Second, he is a big boy! Third, he surfs like a man possessed while at the same time looking like a highly surgical surfer. Bonus information – the Dolls love him! haha The Moms and ladies at all the Junior events this year literally swoon for him. So put that all together and I reckon you may just have been introduced to a future Champion!
