Josh Kerr, Keramas, Bali

Josh Kerr’s known for his aerial game, etc – sure, but, he also rides big barrels better than most. F’reals. Watching him surf Snapper like a wedging beachie during the Quiksilver Pro, frequently laying down combos, you’d easily think that sizzle like that would only come from dedicated time practising in skatepark waves. Not so. Those who can blend prog with truck-driving (like above) are those who’re the best. And Josh gots both down. After Snapper ended, Josh headed for Bali. Can y’blame him? A super-short hop over the Indian Ocean and you’re at one of the surfing’s best playgrounds. And with a gap between Snapper and Bells that’s a month long (if you don’t do Surfest or Margaret River), then… why not? Especially when you can score Keramas like this.
