Kelly Slater: 20 Great Photos

Once I asked Kelly, “What kind of waves do you want to surf today?” “Hollow barrels with no one out,” he responded. That reply formed our continual search. The following 20 gorgeous images of Kelly Slater are from those journeys.

Once I asked Kelly, “What kind of waves do you want to surf today?”

“Hollow barrels with no one out,” he responded.

That reply formed our continual search. I have shot a lot of sessions with Kelly Slater via video as well that are still in the archives. Hopefully, we’ll get them edited together at some point sooner than later.
