Surfing with Kelly

Many of us would like to surf like Kelly Slater. But all of us can't. I'm sure though, many of us are curious as to how surfing a wave really looks like from his perspective.

Today's clip, of Kelly from his own lofty perspective, will help us experience that.

It's filmed at Lower Trestles in California, USA.

I find his creativity, options and bag of tricks inspirational. Watching the wave, the sections that I would ordinarily try to gun through/past, or simply just 'make', Kelly uses them as opportunities to bash, float or turn.
