The Inertia

Kelly Slater does things on a surfboard that no one else can do. He pulls things that should be impossible. That’s why this clip is awesome: it’s as close as a layperson will probably ever get to looking out of Kelly’s eyes as he drives through a long Fijian barrel. And that flip little giggle of excitement at the 15 second mark? It shows that in that 11-time world champion head, Slater’s still just as excited about surfing as ever.
