Sl8er live @ Quiksilver Pro France !

Wooooooooooooooow, S I C K  …  a couple of days ago I had a chance to pass by the WCT Quiksilver Pro France and watched the World top surfers shredding the waves of Seignosse into pieces. Yeah, insane action by Bobby Martinez, Taj Burrows, Mick Fanning, many others … and of course hero and legend, 8 times World Champ Kelly Slater.

Check out the shots that I managed to get after his semi-final heat, pretty rad, yeah 🙂

What was the funniest is the status Kelly has, yeah, he’s like a rock star, he has body guards who protect and guide him to the water and back to the ‘public safe’ riders zone. The crowd of fans can be spotted like a huge tail for miles down the beach.  Don’t ask me how I got that close to the king of surfing…

Have fun !
