Kelly Slater attempts to drown the entire Balinese east coast

What a marvellous figure Kelly Slater is. Dazzling! So far away from the grotesquely squalid world the little island of the Gods has become. But listen. Let’s investigate this turn, part of a sequence (which ain’t shown, just so we can hone in on the money shot). “There were 20-plus photographers in the water that I’d never see before (and maybe three I had seen before) all getting in each other’s way. Not to mention another 150 photogs on the beach. He got a micro-barrel and came out and did this little piece of rail work. With so many photographers shooting in the water and on the beach that day I’m really surprised I didn’t see it published? Ain’t that weird?”
