RE: My Sporting Hero

Oh you're a goofy.. nice photo of you in Indo!

Kelly Slater is a legend. I haven't met anyone who hasn't said good things about him. I met him years back through surfing circles where I live in Torquay, nice guy.

I'm 50 and still surfing . Definitely not on his level though 😂😂😂

No dude im regular - look again at the pic...:) Im 50 next birthday too - another reason that Kelly blows my mind - he surfs like a teenager. Great to connect with another surfer here! Thats amazing you met him - tell me how that happened?

Oh haha I just clocked the left wave and didn't look closely to see you were backhand.

Met him through crew I was working with in surf industry back in the day around Bells surf comp, I grew up a km from Bells and area was a bit of a small town then, everyone knew someone, and then there was the Bells parties too. Long time ago now!!!

I surfed Bells just before Covid kicked in - what an epic wave! So great you had that wave in your back yard! I was in the suburbs of Brisbane - far away from any good waves sadly.

I grew up a km from Bells, hearing the boom of the swells from my bedroom. I don't surf it though,maybe Rincon when it's small. Pretty busy there now post COVID, town has gone crazy.
