Clip of Kelly on a Webber

[silentbutdeadly]

I'd bet I would look like I surf fast than I do with the film sped up.

That being said, board actually looks good in the footage.

There's a 7'6" midlength he has made in the Stab article too. Interesting.

so are we back to 2011?

 

[silentbutdeadly]

I sure hope so

I saw one solid top turn and looooots of slidey cutbacks. Looks fun, impressive for a 48 year old, but also on par for a 30 year old former QS quarterfinalist turned realtor

Kelly's cutbacks always look really good. Full stop.

The board itself doesn't look like it has a lot of drive but that doesn't seem to bother Kelly. He's really good at generating speed. Same kind of thing that screwed us mere mortals in the 90s, rockered out boards without a lot built in drive surf great if you have the ability to generate lots of speed.

I hope you're not implying that he's going backwards ?

I think the fins are the interesting part...
I like the long rake. They look drivey with nice pivot (i would imagine).

funny looks like this Peter Poppler board I picked on Kauai awhile back
Except mine must be near twice as wide at 25" and 3.5" thick
it was built for a 240lber



I was going to ride it as a single or 2+1 with this future's fin

He is super slide on that board. Never been a wing person, although I LOVE the looks of them - always frothed over Arhcie's double wing swallow tails. Front fin at the wing really does produce a different look; opens the tail up for more push, for sure.
