Kelly Slater Politickin' in the Pipeline

Surfboard art goes political! kelly slater

After losing a heat in the Rip Curl surf contest in Chile, reigning eight-time Foster's ASP World Champion Kelly Slater was photographed rockin' a surfboard with a statement. The board art mockingly puts Abu Ghraib images in the iPod silhouette advertisement style.

Slater is not known for having much to say on anything -- except winning. Guess he does now ... or maybe he just digs the wicked graphics!

31. Weird - for some of my comments I do not receive an authorization e-mail, so they never show up. Is there censorship going on on TMZ?

33. Kelly Slater is one of the smartest, most thoughtful, bravest people. So many people are too afraid to say anything -- sin of omission, bc that only leaves the world messed up. After reading some of these, I'm amazed that we, in our "democracy," can't even speak out without people ripping people apart for doing so, precisely what Bush made us into...

35. Sorry Surf Fan, Kelly Slater is a miserable PUKE. The only reason he can express himself without being taken into the street and shot is because your President has kept these animals outside our borders for the last seven years. To paraphrase David Mamet, you want to enjoy all the benefits of freedom and then question the means by which they were obtained. Your board doesn't get transported to the beach on your bike now does it? I hate seeing our troops getting killed everyday. Whose your guy in the next election? Let me tell you, he better not be a sissy because its a mean world out there, don't kid yourself.
