  • Let me start off by saying sorry for the focus quality, I was using a monitor that I don't often use. I had my focus peaking turned on but the results are just not super crispy. Better work next time, I promise!
    Since I was nine years old I've known who Kelly was, so needless to say it was pretty crazy to be up on the boardwalk and watch him pull up in front of me. He got out, casual as could be and began giving golf pointers to Evan Gieselman. Shortly after, the two stretched and went out for a surf. My camera battery was dwindling, but I was able to get most of his session in. I posted a little clip on Instagram and he responded saying that he hadn't been on a board in five weeks. Glad to see you're back in the water Kelly, and I hope all is well!
    Obviously everyone wants to watch Kelly, however this video has quite a few extremely talented people surfing as well. I want to extend a huge shout out to all of the great people I've been able to meet on the beach lately. You guys coming up and showing love for what I do really means the world. Share the videos if you can, the dream is to get paid to do this stuff. Let's see what we can get this UA-cam algorithm to do!
    Cheers

    its a form of Chinese water torture watching waves slowed down like that .

    Awesome to see Kelly hanging out at the jetties with the locals .I grew up surfing this spot it's one of the best surf breaks in all of Florida if not the entire east coast and their has always been a lot of local talent that can shred with the best of pros .honestly in this small surf Kelly is just another surfer

    I miss surfing Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and Orange County. Nice to see Kelly out in the mush with the rest of us 😁

    Amazing how he finds all turns out of seemly nothing! Very inspiring. Amazing athleticism.

    Good surfing and really fun waves. My local spot usually is walled up most days.

    Didn’t realize what an imposing figure he is. Although I’m sure those surfers are “used to” surfing with KS, they still side eye to catch glimpses of his greatness.

    Great film! People once said of Jesus, "What good could come out of Nazareth?" And surely some people have said, "What good could come out of Cocoa?" But there is some God in K.S.--always an inspiration. May he live long and keep riding. Surely he has come and fulfilled his assigned mission; he has done what he was sent down here to do, to inspire us and set an example for us all. Long live Slater!

    Those waves look really fun and some good surfing in this. However slow mo surf videos are not my thing and this one's full of it. Thanks for posting though!
