Shooting Kelly Slater

This week since returning from the Super Bowl has been nonstop. Thursday morning, I was up at 5 a.m. to drive to Rincon Beach about 12 miles south of Santa Barbara to meet with nine-time surf champ Kelly Slater. My story on Slater (it’s going to be a good one!) will be out in a couple months, accompanied by photos shot this morning in the cold rain. Here’s a sneak peek at our ESPN The Magazine photo shoot. I’ve never seen so many photo assistants in my life!
