Kelly Slater vs. Ryan Callinan - Quarterfinals, Heat 1 - Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach 2019 

Kelly needs to change boards

There should be others in their prime considering the fact that Slater could have fathered anyone else on tour but there no one else I'd rather watch. He should definitely captain the USA in 2020.

Kelly's boards look super chattery under his feet. Not pretty.

Callinan, ripping solid.

i agree he always has an interesting board selection

I think Slater needs to make adjustments on his boards. His boards might be TOO loose and a little too thin.

Clearly, Slater's board selection is a bit too progressive.

Slater boards ...no no.

Hopefully John can bring it home.

When KS was No,1 could "Action" on Critical section like 7:04 King did well but time is come

So many comments bitching about Kelly’s boards

Al Merrick needs to just send Kelly like 20 boards with a note 📝 that says: Just Stop! Love Al (When Kelly retires, I retire from watching the tours)

Calinan was underscored ,like they were trying to give it to Slater ,if he didnt surf like Raggedy Andy they prob would've.

I’m sure that much smarter and more creative minds have been at this for a long time, but the way this priority system works seems to let a lot of great waves go begging. Or by the time the guy with priority takes it, he’s not really in the best position to take full advantage of it, or at least sometimes it seems like his mind is on strategy, and not on surfing. Am I completely nuts?

Kelly surfing wave pool boards in 8ft beasts. Makes no sense.

Slaters board was too small very noticeable

Ud think slater would know what works .why reinvent the wheel.

Kelly, use a bigger fin on the back fin, and then you'll surf more solid, more solidly radical.

Kelly's lost the infamous "step" for sure. The young guns are much more fluid and look more like what is now known as Old School Kelly Slater

Kelly looked more off then I have ever seen!

omg

kellly got thebbiggest fin he can on this shit

！‼︎！

So obvious, Kelly's heart isn't into this anymore. NO MORE FIRE. Even at the 'goldie' he was throwing 'punts' at the lip and falling, I mean it looked like my youngest son surfing Pavils when he was 10. Sometimes I think he is doing this on purpose, so not to stop the "younger crew" from reaching their dreams. Not to take anything from Ryan, he was ripping. I mean, even Dane Reynolds was bumming that he was beating guys in Hawaii, that were trying to reach their dream of making it to the CT. I wonder if that's the reason he no longer surfs contest here in Hawaii.

His legs look weak......

Di+

Shame wsl

kelly's boards are absolute shit for him. Why is he continuing to use them?? He looks consistently and noticeably shit on these boards, for years.
