- In this video, we visit the Gunston 500 Surf Contest in Durban, South Africa, with Kelly Slater and some of the Pros from the early 1990s. This classic event is one of the longest-running surf competitions in the world. Martin Potter and Kelly Slater are killing it like madmen! Shane Beschen and Fabio Gouveia are also ripping in their contest jerseys while we watch some of our favorite pro surfers, Shane Dorian, Flavio Padaratz, Todd Holland, Shaun Tomson, Todd Miller, Mike Parsons and Dave MacAuley, go off in the free surf footage.
Heads up! Martin Potter needs to be seen in this video from the early 1990s; the 1989 World Champion is on fire on his signature Pottz Surfboard, slamming these little Durban waves into oblivion. Martin Potter, born in England and raised in South Africa since he was 2 years old- is one of the best surfers in the world, and his influence on the progression of high-performance surfing can never be pushed to the side. Martin Potter is a powerful, fast, radical surfer whose blistering style is second to none. He was one of the main men who shaped the future of surfing. Hats off to Mr Martin Potter. Respect.
We will say it again, If you're looking for a good surf video, check out this shred session at the Gunston 500 with Kelly Slater, Martin Potter and a host of top pros. This video will definitely put a smile on your face as you watch Slater, Pottz, Shane Dorian, Shane Beschen, Flavio Padaratz, Todd Miller, Shaun Tomson, Dave MacAuley, Mike Parsons, and Todd Holland take down these small, difficult and ugly little waves! Watch as Kelly pulls off some of his insane signature moves and laces the wave into submission!
DISCLAIMER: We do not know who won this event, the exact year or the heat results... we don't even claim that Slater was in the same heat as Pottz.

Shot for the epic video 🤙🏾
This was the era when neither the Tour nor the sponsors cared about the quality of the wave.
Let's see the 1981 Gunston, Martin Potter's first showing.
The music is like straight out of a tampon commercial lol
Taking it back to the days of Peter Stuyvesant adds.
Yes Sir! Aloha!
Martin didn't you grow up in Durban it's difficult for me to remember if it was Durban, or Capetown. And don't you miss your home by now?
MEMORIES

Pottz was definitely cutting edge, and everyone took notice.
I love the trivia about the surfers, keep the videos and comments coming!

I feel like an artifact after watching this. Where did the time go!!??
It is a privilege to grow old. Life is good! Enjoy 🤙
If Kelly Slater is MJ, Potts is Dr. J..

Flashback City. 🔥
Yes indeed. Surfing is Freedom- enjoy!
Wherd pottz go?
Pottz is all good! Has a great family and life and still the iconic ripper who set the world on fire in the 80's and 90's. He was on everyone's "favorite surfer" list.
Isnt he one of the WSL commentator presenters on all the comps they do? He used to be. Like almost 10 yrs ago. Thats how long its been since i bothered with anything WSL. Ronnie Blakey alone was enough to turn anyone off ever watching them comps. Terrible presenters. Sell out company. Might as well be Red Bull.
He's still ripping and enjoying life
Rawkus Joll back in the Day. Durbam Poison was the Best stuff.
Oh dear... not the Durban Poison 🙃
