Zane Schweitzer wows the judges to post a near perfect score in his quarterfinal heat
It was Zane Schweitzer’s (Starboard) moment to shine today, as the swell pulsed and he was able to capitalize by picking off some of the very best waves of the day, linking critical turns under and through the lip to earn him a near perfect 9.9 for his top scoring wave.
His back up of a 7.0 was achieved with just one radical turn, as he drove through the lip and air dropped down the face. An impressive performance from Zane, who is currently 5th in the world and looking to finish the year on a high here in Morocco.
