Ha - I almost bought that 7'6" on BCO too - It's a pretty sweet looking board. What a steal @ 320 those surftechs are nice.

Yeah G - PM me for sure if you come down. If you can't kite, some surf can usually be found.
We still have the house in P-town - so I'll be around
KS won the pipeline masters, but isn't the true pipeline master Gerry Lopez ? - That guy is always so chill and modest - I think he has a place in Bend & his shop 'Gerry Lopez Surfboards' is located there.

| It was this type of committed surfing from 9X World Champion Kelly Slater that earned him, his sixth Pipeline Masters title. |

It's hard to believe someone could make that drop - but I guess that what makes you 9x world champ
How is/was the surf over there sl8r - you pull into any of that 10x overhead stuff Those last pics were sick

KS mini documentary link:
http://surf.quiksilver.com/ks9/index.aspx
Some of you have prob seen this mini documentary ( @ 8min?) - but I thought it deserved to be posted here for those who don't frequent surfline. Pretty inspirational whether you surf with or without a kite. Slater talks about his attitude towards surfing, life and health. + some sik surfing footage.

Da surf was scary big….
I’m working my way up to it... Gota get my balance and feel for the board first so I'm doing some practice passes on the sand. And, oh ya, being able to stand up on my own will help a lot….

PS Great video on Kelly!! Thanks for posting.
