Who would have thought it possible that Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson and Kelly Slater could all stumble in one day ? South African surfing star Jordy Smith produced one of his best performances to date when he ousted former nine-time world champion Kelly Slater … check this video where ”Kelly Slater talks about losing to Jordy Smith at the Quiksilver Pro, Dane Reynolds and scoring tens and what you need to do to win world titles. Plus: Kalani asks her man what he thinks of Australia.”

This is why the Surf Media is so keen to be around Kelly, if he has something to say it’s world (surf) news, a scoop, hot, whatever, … while some might say it’s all buzz, mind games, we actually think a hype doesn’t get to claim 9 times number one, in my humble opinion, Kelly is what he is, a surfing legend and one that always has a good story for the press …

Talking about good stories … Just to see if there was any more news about Kelly , I googled his name and came up with this “Kelly Slater Sculpture Project“. Which proves my point, there’s always news when the King Of Surf is around … and that’s a good thing, because the world can really use some Good News. Kelly’s the Good News Show. And we love him for that !

The Kelly Slater Sculpture Project has been established to execute the goal of honoring a great champion by installing a bronze sculpture at 4th St. North and A1A in Cocoa Beach, Florida. As you probably know, Kelly grew up in Cocoa Beach and has won nine world titles in the sport of surfing. The pose for this model was selected because it represents one of Kelly’s signature moves. The sculpture will highlight the importance of his contributions to our community, create interest, serve as a focal point for visitors.
