English term or phrase: a 8.77 barrel... getting his fins out with a 9.33 ride

"Durbidge had the poise of a WCT veteran as he locked in a pair of spectacular rides starting with a 8.77 barrel and getting his fins out with a 9.33 ride."

Parle-t-on de distance ici ? un ride de 9,33 mètres, une vague tubulaire de 8,77 mètres de hauteur ??

un tube noté 8,87... puis une vague à 9,33 points

Explanation:
les vagues sont notées sur 10. Les deux meilleures vagues d'un surfeur lors de la série sont prises en compte.
Durbidge, dont c'est la premère années sur le circuit, a obtenu des socres dignes d'un pro aguerri.

Pour "getting his fins out", j'hésite. Cela peut signifier sortir les ailerons lors de manoeuvres très poussées. A vérifier.
