You are probably thinking to yourself that i have gone mad because i am writing about a stand-up in a bodyboarding blog. Well your wrong, i havn't lost my marbles, Kelly Slater is just THAT GOOD that he warrants a piece on any site that deals with "surfing". The 36 year old & 8X world champ has just won another comp, the Globe Pro in Fiji. He has currently won 3 out of the 4 comps this year and is doing pretty well for someone who supposedly retired at the end of last year and was only going to surf a few select events this year. Check out the vid below from the recent Globe Fiji Pro
As you can see Kelly Slater is to Stand-up what Mike Stewart is to bodyboarding. So to keep this post even i have included a vid of the Godfather himself on the boogie.
As well as surfing as well as he does, Mike has a number of innovative designs coming out of his Science label. He is currently in the process of developing the Alaia model, made from wood, that looks like the original bodyboards/paipos. He has also introduced the new compression cells, that absorb impact, into the new Science 1 LTD. Check out all the new innovations at his website.
