He's a beast!

Me & Bub's have the same 4 guys left on Fantasy.
Awesomeusername (whoever you are) - If JW loses & Flores takes #1, Bubs has a shot to take your top spot.

 

Even the losers get lucky some time

Jk

 

I'd hate to have to surf against Kelly.

G.O.A.T.

3 10s already today wow I love slater ..for those that say slater aint the best anymore,he sure is...when the waves are good

 

JJF & JW heat was wild for the last 2 minutes!

 

whaaaaaaaaat anybody just see that,julians buzzer beater to take the lead with a perfect 10,then jjf wave comes in and hes back to first.wow very good contest

 

Fu*k yeah Slater... That was sick. Total domination

And JJF is now number 1. So awesome.

 

That air drop to the limbo-under-the-lip-barrel was INSANE. It didn't even factor into his top 2!
Mental!!

 

congrats kelly...nice to see an old guy killing it every once in a while

 

Slater is making his play for the 2020 USA Team

 

that was ****ing sickkkkkkk

 

he will be on that team for sure... I bet he's the torch carrier in 2020

 

would be even better if he makes a run for his 12th title.hes 8th on the board,pretty far off but u have trestles,europe and Hawaii.im sure he'll lose early at trestles to the brazzos,but france and Portugal I can see him doing well.he smoked jjf lol,that was the best final this year

 

Slater. What else can this guy write in his book of immortality? 44 and better than ever. Makes me feel good to see a guy near my age performing at so high a level. He has to place quarters or better from here on to catch Medina/Florence...they are just gonna keep on racking points.Makes me wonder where things would be if he had been in Rio. Great to see him get this one. Who would ever pick JJ being combo as the clock runs down?

 

Scobes

the spot is secure

 

I think naysayers of surfing as a sport will totally flame me for this one, but I think Kelly Slater might be one of the most durable and slowly aging athletes there is. I'd say Jaromir Jagr in hockey is probably the leader in that category but Slater is certainly up there in terms of longevity and competitiveness into old(er) age.

 

jagr isn't landing that acid drop take off.

 

To be fair though, he's probably done some acid.
