i doubt it... have you read that interview with kelly in water magazine... you can find it towards the bottom of the surfline home page. kelly doesnt seem too stoked to go for ten
I think he'll try for 10 next year and if he loses early he'll bail. if he wins early he'll push hard.
I agree.....Slater still kills it....until someone can compete on his level. He's the man... I think he was at his prime and now is going down hill. I doubt he will get 10...... Let's go MICK!!!!!
Looking at his results from this past year it's kind of hard to argue he's past his prime but I think he'll have a tough time getting #10.
I would agree...doesn't mean he's gonna win 10 tho. I don't think he will ever get another world title...I actually can't stand KS. It's kinda like years ago with basketball. Michael Jordan was the all time athlete. I hated him for the simple fact the the refs would go in his favor. Just like the judges do for KS. Let's go Mick Fanning......
He has said that if he gets 9 he would have to go for 10. I think he will and he stands a damn good chance of getting it. Whether you like him or not you can't argue the fact that he still sets the standard by which everyone else is judged. He's earned every score he's gotten this year and in past years. No one else has the complete package like him; the skill, the mental ability, the consistancey, and the fact that he's a great role model for the kids. GO KELLY I'M HOPING THAT YOU GET # 10.
i'm a Taj burrow and Chris Ward fan myself, but i think kelly will stay on tour one more year, whether he'll win our not???... it's about time ole Parko wins a title.. otherwise he may be nick-named 'mr. 3rd place' ...
Yeah...he will go for 10 and lose.....Yes..... the judges are in his favor...he's the best surfer in the world. I know this man. I don't think he has earned every score he has gotten at all....and if you have watched some of his comps you would know that too...it's not a secret.. He is a complete package that is slipping out of his prime.....Honestly...He will rip for the rest of his life...but, he's getting old...imagine what his knees must feel like or his neck...or back. Younger kids stepping up to the plate now it only a matter of time...and that time is now. Like I said he will always rip and is a total role model and i respect his surf abilities...But, I am no Kelly Slater fan..........(he's a bandwagon surfer)...haha FANNING!!!!!!!
