Kelly's Covers: A Pictorial History
Friday 04/11 5
Magazine covers offer a wonderful history lesson for those who care to look. Cover images are always state-of-the-art and, when viewed in a timeline, they provide snapshots of surfing's ongoing evolution: in performance, in photography, and even fashion.
Back to Fiji
Tue 1 November 12:00am
Back in July of this year a rare weather feature enveloped the Tasman Sea. Spawned from a storm in the Southern Ocean below Tasmania, winds blew the length of the Tasman north-east toward Fiji. Over five days and 5000 kilometres the south-west winds created a huge, long-period swell.
With approx. nine days warning surfers gathered in Fiji hoping to score big Cloudbreak. They'd seen what was possible the previous September when a similar weather system dished up huge waves, including that barrel to David Scard.

Kelly Slater's Bells Oop
Sat 14 May 12:00am
Today Stab.com ran a short interview with Slater and questioned him about the move: was it the biggest Alley Oop he's ever pulled?
"I did one at Bells" he said, "in the expression session that I haven't seen on video, but it felt just as high and I landed cleaner."
This is the sequence of that move.
