this is the most talked about photo going around now. it was taken by Brent Bielmann right when the final finished. it’s very emotional, and it’s very touching. Kelly Slater just won his 8th Pipeline Masters at age 50. Seth wasn’t even born when Kelly won his first Pipe Masters back in 1992. so for Kelly, it must have been very emotional because he was crying in the water, and he was crying on the beach. i respect that because you can’t hide those kind of emotions. as for Seth Moniz, he’s a fierce competitor, but he’s also a very companionate person. he cares, he loves, and he’s always making sure everyone is ok. he’s been reaching out to young kids hearts ever since he was a kid, and now he’s reaching out to his elders. seeing this photo made the world fall in love with this kid. and seeing this photo makes us all so proud of Seth. it’s a great feeling! it felt like we all won the Pipeline Masters. thank you boys for the heart filed post contest experience. this is what surfing is all about…
