11x world champion Kelly Slater went down today at the lowers Pro but shared some interesting insight to the future of board design. Many surfers follow Kellys board designs and more and more surfers are going shorter. One of the interesting things he said was that the majority of surfers who buy boards are average surfers who want to have fun. They don't care about surfing like John John Florence, Gabriel Medina, or Felipe Toledo doing full air rotations but what they want to have fun is speed. So finding a board that will let you go fast and crack a solid turn will help you find that right board and keep the stoke alive.
