Kelly Slater’s surfing goes well with a lot of waves. But there’s something about Honolua Bay, as fickle as it often is, that brings out the best in Kelly Slater. Marcus Rodrigues recently re-posted this nearly raw clip to his YouTube channel of Kelly at Honolua Bay from 2016. Perfect Honolua Bay, which is actually perfect for Kelly’s diverse brand of surfing. Turns, barrel riding, airs. He can cover the gamut, although here he mostly just shows off his barrel riding instincts. And how good are those instincts? Impeccable, we’d say.
“Watching Kelly Slater surf Honolua Bay for the first time on a good day was incredible and a dream come true,” reads the post description. “The lines he was drawing were so mesmerizing and he was surfing Honolua Bay like he has surfed it his whole life.”
