Jackson Dorian Skewers Godfather Slater In Soup Bowls Superheat

‘Sip these jetstreams.’

Jackson Dorian has avenged his father’s loss to Kelly Slater in the recent and prestigious Four Seasons Maldives Cup after rinsing him in this Barbadian superheat.

Ducking the Vans Pipe Masters, Kelly was spotted at the appropriately-named Soup Bowls in Barbados, a stunning right-hander seared into surfing’s collective psyche after his incredible performances in Taylor Steele’s ‘Sipping Jetstreams’ in 2005. 

Of note, Taylor (the most acclaimed surf filmmaker of his generation, maybe ever) continues to cite Kelly’s Soup Bowl sessions as the ‘best surfing he’s ever seen’ – these are the focus of his BSIES installment on Stab Premium. 

Anyhows, Kelly gets combo’ed in this sesh by the 16-year-old. Adding insult to injury is young Jackson’s failed blowtail that nearly decapitates his godfather ‘the GOAT’. 

Blood thicker than water.
