Surfing is no easy feat. When 11-time world champ Kelly Slater fell off his board during a barrel roll at the Billabong Pipe Masters, fans were bummed to see him miss the trick.
Then, the impossible happened.

Somehow, Slater managed to body roll back onto his board and finish the ride… in the middle of the tube.
How?
Well, that was interesting. I thought I just fell straight onto my belly and bodyboarded out. Didn’t realize I had to grab for it! Haha. Fun day. #Repost wsl

After seeing the footage, Slater even admitted he was pretty impressed with himself.
When you’re an 11-time world champ, though, this is just a day in the life.
