At the start of the year I was so amped that Kerr had made it back onto the tour. Lets face it, the guy is a freak when it comes to new school surfing and I was really hoping he would blow shit up. His start, however, was a little disappointing and I was wondering if I had a made a bad call. Then along came Jbay. Kerr surfed like a man possessed throughout the event and on the 2nd last day, a day many were calling one of the most progressive in contest history, he was the main reason the other guys were pushing so hard. He was punting ridik airs, throwing "Impossible" turns and just to completely mess with every other contestants heads, pulled what Occy referred to as the "Club Sandwich", a mind altering snap to inverted spin, at least I think that's what it was. It took a rampaging Mick Fanning - who ended up in 2nd place - to halt the Kerr. Watch this space, the man is going to blow up spots like France and Trestles!
While he was in Jbay, Kerr kept a video diary, check it out...
