11-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater has had his board snapped in half after becoming tangled up in large swells off Sydney's Avalon Beach.
With blustery conditions tearing through the city on Friday, swell at Avalon reached 10ft as a handful of surfers braved the weather to test their mettle in the monster conditions.
Widely considered the world's greatest surfer, Slater was spotted among the pack off Avalon's south rocks.
However, onlookers were quick to spot the great treading water between sets with his board snapped in two.
One half of the board became swept up in an oncoming wave and taken back to shore where it eventually settled in a rock pool.
Slater eventually made it back to shore before retrieving the other half of his board still floating in the pool.
