I never get tired of watching this guy surf. Amazing athlete!

[@myinfinitestate1586]

Kelly absolutely smashing it on his little yanker! His setups are so fucking clean. Dude can shred anything!

[@nadamasdisponible]

Great music

[@StimpoTube]

that last wave was so SICK!!!!

[@emrico1]

@SenneffRules totally agree.

[@birdman644]

agreed

[@SDBARTENDER1]

Just on a whole level all of his own.

[@DrumsrockOS]

@ToolsnFire true.

[@ivanzinho1578]

iradooooooooo

[@nicbaroni602]

I have a 5'1 that I surf it's not about how long it is it's about how think and wide a board is

[@claytonbrown994]

Nic Baroni That's what she said

[@xavierdiedricks3356]

I ride a 5 1 and I’m only 11

[@coreyw6634]

The thinker the board is, the better.

[@federicagambarini724]

God Kelly 😍😍😍😍🤩

[@johnnykR9]

at 3:42 my jaw dropped - talk about killin' it !! Slaters' da man

[@ezrhino100]

i used to ride a very short board (just at the chin). it was manageable as long as it was thick in the middle, with some width in the tail (this was a used, yellowing board). got my deepest barrel ever. everyone should experiment with board length. you would be amazed at the limitations. floatation is key.

[@rodrigonolck]

go small boards! I own a 5'4 and she's awesome hahah, the movement and freedom it ies me is amazing, but if it get too big I oculd have some trouble, specially since I dont surf like kelly hahah

[@michaelyankaus3518]

Wish he would make a Slater FireWire model of that exact board.

[@DeadPoetSociety]

Who's Kelly Slater?

[@DHolmquistDesigns]

right? i ride a 5'9 on the regular. im 6'2 170 and it floats me perfect...my favorite shredder! and Kelly is short, 5'9 is perfect size fer him!

[@surfradical1]

surfa muito

[@ourMandurah]

Surf Mandurah, Western Australia!

[@DustinKeiser]

hows a 5'9 tiny when its the same height as him

[@bonsummers2657]

really, I'm 6'4", and a 6'4" board is a plank for me,… 6'1" to 6'1.5" is prime for me for general surf.

[@Bffyukncxe]

I think he means relative to his other boards.

[@beardedyaker9767]

Rule of thumb is to go 2-6" above your height so that fact that he is using a board his exact height makes it like a loose skateboard on the water, I am 5'8 and ride a 5'8. Feels better and more maneuverable

[@seandungan8397]

u guys think that board is tiny. no that incorrect. last summer i rode a 4'5 board. my friend snaped of the nose of a 5'4 board so he sawed it from the break into a regularly shaped board and started riding it again. most fun board i have ever riden. keep in mind that im only 4'10

[@buttayobread505]

He's so goddamn good..

[@robinbanks610]

The king could rip the front door of his house off and charge on it😉

[@DeadPoetSociety]

hahaha thanks

[@LWRx1]

Its beause the type of surf it is why they say the board is tiny.. coz usually they would use 6'1 - 6'3's on this sort of surf.

[@SHOOKSLAY]

in reference to shipsterns probably, not a mushy waist high beach break.

[@AudiSportFan1970]

I ride a 5-8 in everything haha! Tiny board haha!

[@supergangsta1998]

i dont mind the videos buffering i dont mind ads (that much) but when an ads buffers ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ʎzɐɹɔ oƃ ı

[@carnasaurrps]

I ride a 5'7" in waves similar to this. Could go shorter if I had one. Its all about volume.

[@surf239asshole]

Is he skimboardinh

[@Grandollie]

its all dependent upon the waves, everyone is riding 6'0s and beyond. a regular 5'5 board would not have enough rocker or the rails you would typically want for this wave.

[@TheTman5487]

Tiny for the conditions, not in general. Do you even surf?

[@snemmy10]

i think he means small board for the conditions maybe

[@ssurf30]

even kelly said it was small

[@HopSkipAndAMartydom]

*at most

[@sewasam]

but at Margaret River...

[@HessFilms]

Woodys a KOOK....

[@dnatrayon1]

Bitchin soundtrack.

[@xwhite2020]

Yep, they forgot to mention Kelly lost the heat on the big day cause he couldn't get a back up score. Problem was he was trying to paddle the 5.9.. potato chip in 8 foot waves and it was like a little toy boat, add to that Billy Stairmand ripped the fuck out of it.

[@surfnj19]

i ride a 5'8

[@PaulosECR33]

It 5 ft but it 28 inches wide yeh

[@marciofanning4356]

à sem dúvidas ele o montro mesmo sem patrocinador, hoje acho k ele surfa mais pelo o amor d k pelo dinheiro ou fama.

[@jackschreuder5657]

i have a 5,4 aloha magic mushroom that i ride in 5 foot barrels all the time but i am only 45 kgs the board is 19 and a 1/2 wide and 2 and 3/4 thick and it does just fine

[@JahminLerum]

Does anyone else think this is the weirdest name for a contest?

[@charlesfisk8436]

Said the guy with the wierdest name! LOL@JahminLerum!

[@emick3326]

Back when 5'9 was considered tiny

[@surferdude786]

Riding 5'0 \m/ haha

[@ichorousmedia]

surfers from older generations probably wouldnt even consider surfing a 5'9''X 18, most of them wouldn't even consider going under 6 ft.

[@LaurenceFeld]

5'9 pretty small surfboard to be out in 4-6 ft bumpy surf...

[@HebusxJebus]

I ride a 3 ft 2 and am 7 feet tall , beat that.When I am asleep too !

[@trebombproductions]

For someone kelly's size, a 5'9 is pretty average.

[@liuyloui]

The biggest board I have is a 5' 10"....

[@michaelinnes12]

5'9 is tiny for waves this size..

[@nathanlotze]

Every year it goes big and onshore and they still choose to surf main break shit 20 mins drive it's offshore and pumpin Kelly doesn't take margs seriously he just likes the golf and local winers

[@heyman8820]

Why don't they hire event security instead of wasting the cops time walking him through the crowd?

[@patodabomb]

sweaty potatoes

[@2468NOOB]

I ride a 5,0 on similar waves

[@vznquest]

tiny? lol

[@GBH156]

who smoked him in this event? oh yeah KIWI BOY BILLY STAIRMAND

[@superfatcat07]

@atdi72 liar

[@user-lz8bx4cq6l]

ケリー❗ヤバイ😱💧

[@Mrsurfermonkey808]

Not in solid surf

[@ben-vf]

That song was pretty bad .

[@ToolsnFire]

It would look better if he could do his maneuvers smoother, his track shouldn't be that chattery with the right shape outline.

[@KAM_777]

The music sucks.

[@allowyou9225]

Well it's not Ratt Round and Round is it
