The air was warm and thick on first light with a haze of humid low cloud smothering what could have been a beautiful sunrise. The swell has dropped to the point where a conventional board is becoming an effort. Maroubra would be ok but a log or a fish for Bondi is definitely the go.
So Kelly finally got hold of his 11th world title after a classic ASP stuff up saw him crowned twice in one year! Another record! As if if needs it. Do you think he’ll retire? Who knows? He’s still the best, that’s easy to see. If you are into ASP news and familiar with Bobby Martinez’s rant in NY when he gave the ASP a spray over their new qualifying system and left the tour in disgust, you will love this little tongue in cheek INTERVIEW on the tennis court where he mocks the ASP on what has just happened to Slater.
One thing’s for sure, Kelly has some amazing records and there has been much talk of him being the greatest athlete ever, in any sport! I thought that he was. That was until I read about Heather McKay, an Aussie, international squash player who holds records in three different racquet sports and wasn’t beaten in a game of squash in 18 years! Now that is an achievement. All sports are different so it’s difficult to give that title to one person.
Slip, slop, slap out there people! It’s going to be a hot one.
