#TOURNOTES: Here’s How Kelly Slater Preps For A Final

What’s Kelly do before the final? Fishes, criticises Tournotes creator and good friend, PK for picking out all the chocolate in his trial mix, and shouts out scores from the channel. Seeing Mr Slater back atop a podium at Chopes seemed right. The fact he did it with strictly nines and a perfect heat was a reminder of his pure talent; there’s a good reason we call him King. As the sport progresses, there will probably never be a more dominant man in surfing, especially not one that’s smoking kids half his age in finals. It was Kelly’s 55th CT win and has sparked conversation regarding a potential title run. “I’ll need two more wins before that can happen,” he said. And, as we’ve been wondering when he’ll retire for at least five years now, at this point, Kelly just may go out in fireworks. How good would that be?
