The Inertia

Jackson Dorian, son of Shane, godson of Kelly, has surfing in his blood.  Shane and Kelly, of course, came up surfing together, both becoming out-and-out legends, so it makes sense that Jackson and Kelly would have a special relationship. But Jackson Dorian is not, by any means, a so-called nepo baby. Jackson Dorian rips harder than… well harder than just about anyone.

On a recent trip to Barbados, Jackson and Kelly met up for a session at a fun-looking wave that you may or may not have seen before. Imagine being a local there, minding your own business, surfing this wave, and Jackson Dorian and Kelly Slater paddle out? It’s likely a day everyone’s going to remember.
