Kong's frontside style was ATROCIOUS😂 Only in big surf would it be OK, especially in Sunset, where he was awesome. In small conditions like those, he should stick to his backhand, which was very decent indeed...
I remember way way back in the day reading an article in surfer mag Tom Curren saying that Kelly Slater wouldnt amount to very much. This was around the time when KS was on bay watch. TC couldnt have bin more wrong
The aspect ratio on this video seems off. It's too elongated in width (x-axis) making the waves look extra slopey and the boards long and flat. I realize surfboards had way less rocker back then, I recall riding them, but the video exacerbates the appearance. Too bad because the waves look pretty decent for Japan.
