Kelly Slater is 47 years old. In February, he’ll be 48. But damnit if he still isn’t surfing as well as anyone else on tour. Let that sink in for a minute. What are most 48-year-olds you know doing these days? Hopefully shredding as hard as possible.
A couple of days ago, as the seeding rounds got going in Hossegor, France for the Quik Pro, Kelly took it to Conner Coffin and Jesse Mendes, sending them directly to the elimination heats. Apparently, Mr. Slater buckled his board in a freesurf prior to the event start. But it didn’t really look like it. He addresses the broken board in the post-heat chat, below. The contest is on hold until Saturday as officials are apparently looking to move the contest to La Graviere with substantial swell. Hopefully clean. And hopefully lots of barrels.
