A Pulitzer too! And the Oscar for best leading man!
How many barrels can a man watch? How many green drainers can he sit through without getting any clips of air under the fins? Kelly Slater’s wave pool was starting to totally bore. Yawn. Barrel. Longer barrel. Barrel. But then Josh Kerr showed up and whoosh! Into the sky!
And I am not being truthful. Kelly Slater’s wave pool is not at all starting to bore. Can you believe it still? Can you believe that Zach Weisberg’s dream valentine man made something so spectacularly better than anything we have ever seen?
And Josh Kerr didn’t really whoosh into the sky but he did dink into the sky. A little punt. After a barrel. And Kelly? Look at him bob and weave on the wave that will finally make him famous!
But are you older? Is your body filled with soul and do you like to waste waves? Waste them just basically standing there and/or hurting every person in your path? Then what about this?
There are so many smiles. Just so many and if the fine men and women at the Nobel Institute know anything about world peace then they will award Kelly Slater the award this year and allow him to take his rightful place alongside Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama.

There’s no doubt it’s a marvel. But so are fake tits and I find that you get bored of those pretty quickly. You can’t beat the real thing.
fark off kooks.
locals only.
stand up tubular thingies for all.
Everyone’s reaction looks too exaggerated and the wave doesn’t seem challenging at all. Can’t fake this “stoke”? Self-deceit still obvious
It really does just look like a 2nd gen wavegarden. Kelly’s wave looks the cleanest because it was clearly the fastest they dragged the plough through the water.
I just see problems,kerr couldn’t put any force in to his turns,wingbutt’s wake was basically destroying the whole shape, it’s almost as like you have to treat the wave like a pussy? Slater can go full bore AT TIMES because he can surf waist high shit?
“You can’t compare it to anything, ” wow , better than any other surf spot,Huh? when is a tube not a tube , when the nose of your board can still be seen. I hope this is just a trial and when the Hype subsides , lets see if the original claim of doubling to size is true , as fark , I can/t bend down that far to tube ride anymore!!
The best thing about those videos are the titles. And, Slater looks like he got the cleanest wave (naturally).
