16 year old Kelly Slater surfs in the 1988 OP Pro East surf contest at Sebastian Inlet Florida with great waves and great competition as thousands on the beach watch including some very hot bikini clad spectators
@carveboarder13 Agreed. I knew about half the people on this film and looking at it now it's shameful, however they surfed to the exact criteria of that time. Fathom this: Last year Kelly Slater at 39 got a 10 on a one manuever wave for nearly pulling a 540 frontside mute grab on an overhead, offshore wave in Long Island New York and earned $100K for his efforts. This is 23 years after this video when all but one of his colleagues is gone from the tour. The times have changed with 1 man standing

it looks lame because the waves were so small if the waves were bigger it would look more like ripping

Pat Mulhern is a ripper but he looked like a fa-reek ka-hoook on some of those. Must have been the era.

amazing what was considered "ripping" in those days...if only the shapes were planed down a bit.
