Hey, take it to Surfermag!
Not a design word in here. shakes head
Kids these days…
Hey wait…most of you dudes are older than me !
So Kelly won! he’l go for eight this year!
I’d have like to see Fanning win on a single fin, speaking of which the surf was really hollow on my thruster so i’ll go back out on the single fin.
Congrats Kelly!

well, let’s see now …
…IF [one of the commentators] ‘Marty Thomas’ got it right , kelly slater won the event in waves three or more feet overhead , on a 6’1 thruster.
no other dimensions , rail shape , rocker stats were given , “surprisingly”…
How tall and heavy is kelly ? I ask , because Joel Parkinson was , apparently , riding a 6’5 in the finals . [windy and bumpy , solid Bells] . I thought he and kelly were about the same size ?.. but maybe not …
cheers

It helps when you get towed back out to the lineup! Think that those dimensions would be different if they were actually doing some paddling.
you must be happy with your second place prizemoney though , eh Joel ?

Crazy man!
Slater is 5’9" on a 6’1" and Parko is 6’0" on a 6’5".
How’s this turn!
mick fanning
Luke Stedman
Joel Parkinson
Incredable surfing!
hi jim !
…did you get to see the FOOTAGE of that turn ???
if not , click on ‘footage’ on the site ! That’s the best turn I have EVER seen at Bells .
And their floaters in the gnarly well overhead inside section ??? unbelievably good surfing …
cheers ,

Vicarious surfing at its best.
