Kelly Slater @ Pipeline…

205

good evening. had a pretty mellow day here in hawaii. took some friends surfing at bowls. chest high sets and pretty clean. i didn’t bother going to the north shore because there is a contest that runs from today till the 15th at my favorite surf spot, backdoor. and plus, the water from mokulea to waimea bay is still dirty. yuck… i still want to go diving so bad. help!! nemo needs help!!! haha.. have a nice evening…. and thanks everybody for the kind emails. they keep on coming and i can’t keep up. gomenasai… goodnight…

i just downloaded another memory card into my computer and totally forgot i took some snaps at the pipeline masters. here’s kelly slater getting ready for his semi-final heat. focused, determined, and a true champion…

so he runs into the water, jumps on his board, and does a round house cutback. i gave him a 3.5….

if you want to take a photo of the gallery, do it when kelly’s surfing. all eyes and cameras are on him. then when after his heat is finished, half the beach goes home….

girls come all the way from japan to see the 9x world champion. konichi wa…

and kelly won’t let you down. he’ll give you your moneys worth. if you haven’t seen kelly surf in person, you will never know the magic he brings to the events. if it wasn’t for him, surfing wouldn’t be as exciting….
