Today I got more backside barrels in one session than I have, like, ever,” says Hamilton, who famously lost her left arm in a shark attack. “It makes me just giggle and giddy.”

As Slater’s team points out via their social feed, “The new right isn’t too bad either.” The WSL recently took on Kelly’s dream machine, with plans for a specialty event voiced a few weeks back.

Turns out, it’s not only the new left that’s been dialed in at Kelly Slater’s wave ranch – the team’s been tweaking that right-hander as well, and have enlisted Bethany Hamilton to sample the goods.
