| Despite on-edge turns like this, Slater lost out to Tom Whitaker in the quarterfinals. "I just need to sit down and think about where my head was at," Slater said. "I generally don't get that rattled in heats but I felt a little physically weak - I'm getting healthy again and I felt a little jittery. I fell on three or four different waves out there."
