Kelly's bolthole holiday continues...
As Aussie and Kiwi surfers remain fenced in, and our Euro brethren are on the eve of a second lockdown, KS continues his Indo dalliance. This time picking the eyes out of semi-wobbly Ulus with a series of technical pits and full face whips.
Some good flying from the drone pilot too.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

Jesus, the surf monk just keeps on getting better!
Wonder if his woman is around??
Only a few crew in the water....too nice!
That is some joy footage. You can really see the flow in the movements. It makes for relaxing viewing. Also, I fn' LOVE the soundtrack
the greatest soundtrack of all time!!! for sure...
Looks And sounds like surfersofbali footage
Massively recommend following them on social media
The speed he gets off his backhand top turns is insane. Anyone know what board he was riding (including fin setup)?
A couple of diff boards- Broken one was a stringered thruster
Maybe a Twinnie @ 4.09 ?
pretty epic Slater footy.
I mean, it’s sort of like an advertisement that says something like “what covid”? It has me wondering...
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Covid doesn't exist by the way that certain expat surfers based in Bali and big named pros are jetting from the Ments to NTB/NTT to Bali to Java every week.
Those full face turns that end with a tight curlicue up in the pocket...good shit.
I just took out a too-short board in a bolshie beachbreak to cop some of that feeling.
hope he got his postal vote in
He's just been at Nihiwatu as well.
footage?
Here' tis, Kelly at Nihi:
Nice!
rub it in....starting to hate him now.....lucky bastard...shame he cant surf....
$2700 a night....faaarrrkkkkk
Wow, that was pretty bloody amazing, surfing, horses, and landscape. very noice.
Kelly
Anyone know who the goofy foot guy was?
Strider?
Looked like he was in his 50s. A goofy version of Kong I reckon.
We had 1 of the largest swells of spring in WA last Thurs/Fri when that hits Indo they will be frothing for sure.....I saw some inside corners at solid 8ft...outside reefs were 6x overhead.....the North/South bay was a wash thru on Thursday. Fark'n uuuuuge mate.
Hasnt shown yet..whats travel time 3- 4 days ?
From WA only a couple, done and gone.
Curlicue? Had to look that one up. Nice.
I learnt the word bolshie today.
Just a little reminder of who's the King. Nice.
Yeah, he’s looking very fluid and relaxed. His style has smoothed out a lot.
KS on Medewi beachies
Fark he's surfing like a grommet on red cordial.
Good to see him fall / get guillotined on a few too. Makes us mere mortals feel better that even pros don't surf every wave perfectly (unlike their edited clips).
