This Is Kelly Slater, Recovering From Injury and Surfing Chocolate Barrels in New Jersey

He doesn’t look hurt.

They say milk is good for bone density. But maybe not milk chocolate-like barrels in New Jersey. They can snap a board as fast as they can snap a repaired bone in one’s foot. But Kelly Slater seems okay with it as he was seen smoothly weaving his way in and out of a few milk chocolate tubes on the right coast today (New Jersey has been epic lately with plenty of swell and offshore winds). Slater looks like he’s recovering nicely from the injury he suffered at J-Bay. Here’s hoping we get to see him compete at Pipe.

Thanks Jersey…you and yours were good to me today. Sorry I don’t have everyone’s tags but I appreciate the photos and warm welcome (cold wind though) and hospitality. Been waiting for one of those great NJ days for decades. Remarkable conditions albeit short-lived. I’ve missed the easy coast hospitality. Fun surf with a mellow crew. ✌?????
