Kelly wins seventh, fong

[unmployed]

i would go bald anyday to get what he gets...... and why do ppl keep saying oh well hes bald.
who gives a fuck 7x world champ is what goes into my head... greates surfer of all time.... not how many or how little hair he has on his head.

A.I is a cocky hawaiin thank god (slater) he didnt win again

[loco4olas]

so damian hobgood wins brazil .. and kelly slater wins his 7th world title! onya jimmy slade!!

BUT, the really scary thing is-they're BOTH from Florida!

[chrisb]

Rather Slats that AI but......

.......where the bloody hell are the Aussies!!!

this drought is getting embarrassing.

[streetdaddy]

its hard not to be influenced by the surf media, but I try really hard to just appreciate them for their surfing, not their personalities and competitive attitudes... kinda like some poor hollywood actor getting outed for screwing around on his wife. seems unfair that it should effect their career but I guess that's unfortunately the game they play.

I agree..........where are the aussies?
Who is going to step up?

Any predictions for next year?

[MrLewis]

And I hear Mr J Slade has been tucking into DiCaprios old lady, Gisele, you can't buy that life!!!

Ah, Mr Hound - you beat me to it.

7 world titles and a bit of hidey-slidey with fit horn-bag Giselle - what a sh*t life he has.
That gets 11 out of 10 in my book.

Bet his celebration party is really crap too......

Phil macca has had a pretty big year, but still no win. He will be one to look out for during the triple crown. he had a good result there last year.

I agree..........where are the aussies?

fanning and taj

[willie]

gotta say parko...
unfortunate year after such a good one last year but even that was filled with unfortunate events for him..
its all gonne build up n he'll rip it up n go good soon, he's due for it

[bman65]

I know its a long shot, but I think HOG might have something to say about that! I think he has had his best year ever on the tour. A few more solid performances next year and he might be a little closer to the top!

[Beanpole]

The thing with Slats has always been that quite apart from what anyone can do and quite apart from what a thruster does to someones style. Even old farts have consistently thought that Slats is the epitomy of good surfing.

[Carpark King]

Kelly has done very well for himself. It seems like he has everything, except a stable family life! lets not forget he has a daughter...how often do you hear about her! His dad was an alcoholic and has died of cancer and his mum is a bit loopy apparently..

Guess that can explain his dedication to surfing

[KymE]

It's great Kelly won. I'm sure he's hungry enough to get the title next year. Good luck to him. He really does deserve it!

Andy still has many great years ahead. Bruce will be pushing him far next year too.

[Chrisp]

I'm putting in a word for Fanning next year, he's got the competitive spirit and determination (much like what drove AI to his crowns), I think this year he's had some time to feel around after the injury.......plus shut down by the 10x world champion freak show that is Kelly & AI

But as long as these guys keep putting on a great show......do we really care who wins??? (Occ 06....take back the oldest to win a world title crown)

Occy for 60 and still on the tour

[Chrisp]

It's great Kelly won. I'm sure he's hungry enough to get the title next year. Good luck to him. He really does deserve it!

Fellas, there was a discussion about women in forum a while ago........try not to scare this one away

<yet another pointless post!>

Kelly is the Lance Armstrong of surfing.
