Kelly's Live Conversation on the Great White Twin
"We all think about Great Whites all the time, especially with drone shots nowadays," says Kelly Slater live to an audience in Rip Curl San Clemente. "Understanding the migratory patterns of the Great Whites around here in September, October...there's a lot of them around."
The 'here' the 11x World Champion is referencing, where Great Whites migrate to, is San Clemente, CA. Kelly came for a night at the surf shop to discuss the Great White Twin, his new surfboard design with Bali-based shaper Mike Woo, that was inspired by the outline of a Great White Shark.
Press play for this 20-minute conversation with Kelly above, as he covers:
- The best fin set to pair with the Great White Twin
- The best wave type and conditions for the Great White Twin
- What it's like to deal with localism personally, as he's experienced in Central California
- Why the FRK and FRK+ stay in his quiver
- His new wave pool in Abu Dhabi
- Why he likes working with Kevin Schulz on the Slater Designs team
- Which he likes more: wave pools or the ocean
- ...and much more
Designed to pair with his Endorfins Twin + 2 fin set, the Great White Twin is Kelly's favorite board of the moment, inspired by his favorite apex predator.
Designed over the past three years, the Great White Twin is built in I-Bolic Technology with Volcanic Lamination: a more sustainable alternative to carbon lamination in performance shapes that enhances each Great White Twin with increased response and durability.
