I agree there are some good surfers who frequent this forum board. The days of booming talent coming out of Brevard or FL period has taken a deep dive. Why..? Popular demand forces them to strive for speed, spray and airs instead of unique individual style. Robotic surfing, everyone doing the same thing over and over and fans loving it. No style or love for the wave just using and abusing it. I enjoy Kelly's barrel time and rail to rail surfing but you notice he hardly throws air in competition because he knows how to actually surf. No one could touch the greats from the past, even if they transported back with their potato chip boards.
