Water ski's

Kelly's board is an Al Merrick. Simply the best..

Yeah, Kelly was owning the place.

And Kelly played mind games on Rob and it worked. Many observers confirmed Kelly initiated the hand five, tricking Rob in confusion enough to make him loose priority. A lot of professionals and close friends from Rob said people often see him as a cool surfer while he was a fierce competitor. If Kelly managed to trick Rob, it's a huge performance. The World Title was at stake. The audience did not see Rob the extreme competitive nature of Rob because of his cool style. The competitive aspect of Kelly was easy to see. The hang five was perceived as a cool move from Rob and it was a move from Slater advantaging Slater. So who knows if it was a mind game or an authentic friendly move ? Maybe a bit of both ? It's clear that Slater's backside attack with late drops, slip and grabrails gave him the higher ground in the contest. Rob despite an incredible flow in deep tubes, did not push the technique to the limits as Slater did. This heat was just historical.

@@bonbondeselthis wasn’t the heat with the high five.

Indeed!

Concordo amigo. Eu ando de skate e gosto muito do esporte, mas quando surfo só fico na linha, e antes da queda só assisto esses vídeos antigos, os novos são só os cara girando no ar.

They look goofy af on their 8'6s lol.

most board around 7'6?

why? to help bring him down from all the coke?

he got smaller waves and didnt get as deep for as long. it made sense that he wouldnt win with that strategy. why is it strange that he didnt win?

@@xisotopex I don't know. I think Machado was smoother. But backdoor looks faster and steeper, so you're probably right.

@@arloharnish well, even today a knockkneed stinkbugged flailing brazilian will score higher than someone surfing at a higher level, but smoother. the judges seem to think if you are out of control you must be good. they dont recognize superior ability and style.
