Kelly Slater: For The Love….

388

good morning. 6:45am and got some good news. there’s a little swell in town. waist/chest high sets at bowls with perfect conditions. got a few guys on it already. 10 guys out at the park. looks like a soft week swell but it’s better than nothing. north shore came down. 2-3′ and the sandbars should be fun. 25 guys at lani’s already. small fun clean surf day today. i’m going to the airport to pick up nao-chan, then go surf the north shore. have a nice day…

these are the photos from the tiger shark attacking the turtle outside of hawaii kai. gosh, i dive out there so many times and haven’t seen a tiger shark out there before. but now i know their out there. scary…

poor little turtle. thanks sheldon young for sending me these photos….

a new kelly slater book? wow, already? i read his last book “pipe dreams” while i was on a boat in the philippines. i thought it was pretty good because it gave kelly a personality. he’s human and has been through things in life that many people go through. but to pull off 8 world titles in the meanwhile, that’s crazy. and crazy is kelly. i’d predict he’d quit at 10 world titles. or maybe more. this guy is unstoppable and probably the only 2x retiree that is still way ahead of the competition….
if you guys didn’t get a chance to read his first book. you should before you read his new one. and for you japanese, now they have it translated in japanese so read it and maybe you can become 8 time world champion too…. but just to let you know, it didn’t work for me.. haha…
