quiksilver pro
went to the first day of Quiky pro today. saw 5 heats, incl mick, joel, the hobgoods(same heat, damo was on fire!)etc, etc(no disrespect they all surfed like pros)...and KS. He paddled out on what looked shorter than my fish which is a 5 11, probably like 5 8(or shorter), fattish nose and kinda rounded pin didnt look like much rocker. He was slidding tail, pulling 360s in gravity defying fashion, he must be part gecko the way he sticks to his board. What was amazing is that if you have any doubt that this man is the best in the world, just watch an actual contest, all the heats...his flow, power and artistry are clearly evident. The waves had deteriorated by his heat and he still put on a show...a true master.

I was just checking the QS Gold website and was thinking of seeing if you are able to go down to the event. So what's the commute time from your house to the event? Do they let the kids out of school for the event? Tell Kelly the home crowd is pulling for him.
