Welcome back to Red Bull Decades. This series, based on some of the world’s best surfers riding some of the most iconic boards in surfing history, has so far seen Kolohe Andino, Julian Wilson, Ian Walsh and Jamie O’Brien riding a Greg Noll Elephant Gun, a Gerry Lopez Pipeline Gun, and a Glenn Pang x Martin Potter Town and Country Twin Fin. Today, we arrive at the Channel Islands x Kelly Slater 6’1″, shaped by Al Merrick. This was the board in the 90s, ’cause Kelly made it look so amazing. But as the crew quickly figure out, Kelly was even more talented than we already thought – this board now, by today’s standards, ain’t a cakewalk. But they figure it eventually, and good times are had.
