Such an inspiration he is. How lucky we all are that we bore witness to his career.

Agree, and I was stoked that I had been watching this comp the last few days.
The semis were friggin hot as it was but the final was smokin hot !
Kellys first 2 waves were unbelievable and what a start to take on JJ.
The coverage today of events is sensational showing 3 different angled replays of the waves ridden, some of the drops Kelly made and JJ no one else could have made them !
Most times I would say Pipe when on delivers some of the best tube contest riding but this was probably one of the best I have seen !!
Shame its no Aussie but when its this good you can only admire no matter who they are.
Good on the ol bloke !
