Postcards from France - Les Estagnots : 230908


Bonjeur,

Yes it is difficult to read this from the postcard but that is why everything is in the email.

I woke up this morning feeling sick to my stomach about the chances of the World Title going down today. Got out of bed had my shower packed my bags and proceeded to have a lie down, this just after getting out of bed.

No World Title went down but Slater did let a wildcard think he would be the one to get one over him. By his own admission he was rattled by the thought of clinching a 9th World Title so my queezy stomach was for due reason.

This is the chaos that surrounds the man, the enigma, the legend, the King that is Kelly Slater. I want it on paper, I think the marketing wheels will spin out K9LLY SLATER.

All these people bitching about Slater winning all the time is burning my balls. It is simple, he wins all the time because there is just no one else as good. All the other surfers that bitch about him and say he must retire why don't they up their game and start winning some heats, work their way into the red jersey and start smashing K9LLY in the finals. Maybe they should all go back to being wildcards as it seemsthose are the only ones hungry enough to rattle him.

Just a little bit of surf nerd info - Slater has earnt $1.7 million dollars in career winnings, a career spanning more than 10 years. Tiger Woods wins half that in one tournament. Slater has a valid reason to have his rants and raves. How about the industry mafia putting their pockets where their mouths are and let the big spenders splash in the pond. Because that's all it is right now, a pond in the ocean.

Until tomorrow . . It is not a new World Champion, it is a re-crowning of the foundation.

Toodaloo
