Round one of the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay when down in some amazing surf. They are calling it the best waves on tour in two years. The Taylor Knox vs Joel Parkinson heat is worth watching again and if you didn’t see it last night be sure to check out Bobby Martinez’ 10 point ride. [...]
Kelly Slater and Tom Curren pioneering two in surfing off the Gold Coast from 1998.
Slater took down CJ Hobgood yesterday at Cloudbreak to claim his third win in four starts, not bad. I couldn’t find any video of the final so you will have to settle for the king talking about his 10 point ride during day one on the reef at Restaurants.
Some footage from this years Kelly Slater Foundation Benefit to Save Trestles. This fight is not over, these 241 toll road scum bags are not going away. We need to continue to fight to make sure this nightmare does not get built. “Fed Ruling Resurrects Prospects of Trestles Toll Road“
Nothing gets Kelly more passionate then finding a swell and tracking it. Must me nice.
Dane Reynolds and Kelly Slater at Bells Beach
Kelly Slater took home his third Rip Curl Bell yesterday narrowly defeating my man Bede. That is two in a row for Kelly. I have a feeling he may be surfing more events this year than he thought. Two more titles and Quiksilver will have to cough up that 10 million.
Kelly Slater tuning his boards at Rincon pre Quiksilver Pro. I am assuming he is riding some sort of quad fish, correct me if I am wrong.
Kelly Slater a decade ago, Hit and Run
I am assuming this is Soup Bowls. Barbados is on my top five trip list, I just have to figure out what to do with these kids first.
Kelly Slater (b. Robert Kelly Slater February 11, 1972, Cocoa Beach, Florida) is a successful professional surfer. Slater is an eight time world champion and has been sponsored by Quiksilver since 1990. He competed in the X-Games in 2003 and 2004. In May 2005 in the final of the Billabong Tahiti Pro contest at Teahupoo, Slater became the first to score two perfect rides for a total 20 out of 20 ASP two-wave scoring system (the corresponding honour under the previous three-wave system belongs to Shane Beschen from 1996). In 2006 Slater tied Tom Curren for most career tour victories, 34, at the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, then in September of 2007 he passed Tom Curren by winning the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles.
