Yep, 90s boards were way more rockered than today. They were good boards but most shapers were building boards for "perfect waves" for perfect surfers. That was the assumption whereas today we have more options, especially in mushy surf.
Back in 95' I had my shaper Syd Willmett (Glasser at Nev Surfboards) make me 6'1 x 17 7/8 x 2 1/8 boards. I used to get him to take as much foam out of the nose as possible without it snapping before being glassed. I probably only weighed 130lb at the time though. Rarely anyone surfed over 18 1/4 wide back then. I can't say I caught waves as easy as I do now on current boards but they were fun.
Kelly is signed with Quiksilver I believe, and that means he signed to surf Quiksilver gear and can't wear both redbull and QS. (He may be signed with ripcurl actually)

Mike C I agree
Mike C but then again the pros are always looking out for the perfect wave and can afford to travel to it.
Dude kelly slaters mane sponsors are quicksilver and FCS hes not sponsored by ripcurl or redbull
Its going to be hard to wait another entire week for the next episode.
Truly amazing series... Keep it up for all the viewers to enjoy
"I Need some help, and that board wasnt giving it to me" lol
kelly the only one who can fit that thing in the pocket!
I had an older ketchel and 90s boards are like surfing pringles the rocker was absolutely skits
Throw back to when Kelly didn't make his own boards
17 7/8" ??? DAMN how the hell did anybody paddle on that thing?

Just goes to show how good Kelly Slater really was/is. Being able to ride a board like that, the way he did, is crazy.
Surfing is clutch
***** it means its cool

***** minecraft no life..
***** clutch is used as an adjective in his sentence..
