Kelly Slater collects miles, he doesn’t use them. Haliewa to Honolulu, Honululu to LA, LA to London, London to Johannesburg, Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth and Port Elizabeth to J-Bay over 42 hours was easily the most obnoxious route. Kolohe watches chick flicks on long flights. And most tour surfers are flying economy across the world.
Such is the life of professional surfers. We still don’t need to feel sorry for them. Nonetheless, you can’t help but be a bit curious about the crazy hoops some of these guys just jumped through getting to J-Bay.
