Kelly Slater Talks New Surfboard Company, Slater Designs

When it comes to shapers, Kelly Slater says: “I’ll work with anyone.” Stab recently jammed with Kelly while he was down at Haleiwa testing out some shapes and a new inflatable vest. He talked Slater Designs, where it’s at, where it’s going, and more. And, why the vest testing? You’ve seen the footage of him at Jaws, but perhaps didn’t know that while he didn’t turn up for Todos, he did accept a slot in the event there - which could mean we’ll see The King stepping into the big wave arena more frequently. But, board-wise, so far we already know he’s working with Greg Webber, Daniel ‘Tomo’ Thomson and Firewire technology - the full breakdown of which you can get here. For some fresher juice however, get at the interview above.

Wish they were either a bit more affordable or not made in Thailand by a computer. These things are so frail but they surf so good
