Clip of the Day: Waiting on the Waves



The boys are back in Europe right now (wonder why Lowers has been quiet lately?) and Kelly as you've probably heard won his 584th world tour event. Actually it was 51 but he's still on a roll regardless. Next up is the Rip Curl Pro in Portugal and everyone is gearing up for a solid swell this weekend at Supertubes and possibly a big swell the 2nd half of next week. Sounds good but I hate it when they start the contest, run a few rounds, then everyone sits for a week waiting for the next heat to start. Oh well, better than watching a Brazillian WQS event. Check out the clip from today's layday. Looks pretty good to me but if the expected 2 swells are anything like last year, then it's worth the wait. Here's a quick flashback of the Taj/Kelly heat last year- barrels a plenty to be had.
When the expected swells show, it's going to be solid battle between some the world's best barrel riders: Parko, Kelly, John John, and Fanning- who all happen to be in the top 5 right now fighting for a world title. Make sure to check out the event right here!
