The Inertia

The 2013 Surfer Poll took place at Turtle Bay Resort in front of a packed house of industry insiders, family and friends. The public voted on their favorite surfers, which Kelly Slater and Alana Blanchard took home Martin guitars as well as a trophy. John John Florence cleaned house and loaded up on trophies as he also finished second in the Men’s Top 10 voting behind Slater. As has come to be expected, Dane Reynolds gave a gem of an acceptance speech which had the crowd howling with side-splitting laughter. All in all, ’twas a good night.
