Up and coming Florida stars Sean and Kelly Slater (15 years old at the time) and Todd Holland appear on Wave Watch-an obscure west coast cable program featuring Pete Townend and others interviewing surfing personalities of the day. Note that the Slater brothers were riding their Kechele boards and Todd has his Natural Art. Kelly had just ridden the North Shore the previous winter and Todd had surfed Waimea Bay, which they both described as “scary”. This was the beginning of their professional careers. The rest, as they say, is history.
