Also not pictured but sure to be in his bag, on his way over to France today is the 5’9″ round pin epoxy Fred Rubble he won trestles on, as well as a new 5’9″ x 18 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ round pin Semi Pro epoxy and a remake of the 5’8″ x 18 1/2″ Fred Rubble squash which he broke out in NYC in the final against Owen.
Kelly has been surfing around the Malibu area lately and trying his new sticks. The feedback has been super positive and I would put money that if France is smaller, like it could be this year, those epoxy Fred Rubbles and Semi Pros will be his go to boards. It’s tough because there is always the possibility that the Quik pro France could get big like last year. He has to make sure he has a step up or two in his quiver. A 5’11″ sufficed last year at maxed-out Hossegor. Also, the Rip Curl Pro Portugal, which could also have some solid swell, is directly after France so he has to plan for two back to back events in Europe.
