The great Kelly Slater wins another: Quicksilver Pro Gold Coast a few minutes ago. He is 41 now and been World Champion eleven times so far, a huge record. A great genius in his art by all accounts. Cool as hell too.

This is mostly just a bump, but:
"some random guy" that photo of Steamers stirs up all kinds of longings and nostalgia in me.

There is nothing quite like a good end section.


I always cringe when I'm watching from the beach and someone kicks out instead of hitting it.

You know this guy did something insane.

^ 2013 Nominees!!

edit: regarding the Cortez Bank/opening wave, that place has some San Diego history behind it going back to the late 60's, early 70's before the harvesting of abalone (deep sea/400+ feet) was halted ('72). The CB was ripe with ab, but two of the local divers were eaten by Great Whites. Evidently there is a large seal population that mate there (or use to) which attracted GW's! I was offered a job as a diver in the Spring of '69. Good bucks for a short season (3-4 months), but hard and dangerous work. $45-$50K for 3-4 months work. That was when your entry level salary for 12 months as a fireman/firefighter, police dept, etc was around $7-9K a year. Everyone new about the huge surf at CB, but also new about the huge GW's, though.

Pyro - awesome, bro! thnx!!
