As it goes in many sports, pro surfers celebrate victories in a variety of ways. But it's rare to get surfers' insights on their opponents' claims. Glenn Hall (IRL), Kelly Slater (USA), Matt Wilkinson (AUS) and Brett Simpson (USA) discuss when it's time for fist-pumping...and when it's time to humbly paddle away. Video by Peter King (@peterkinglajolla).
