I was fortunate to meet Kelly last year at the Triple Crown of Surfing.  He stood for hours after his final  surf heat to meet fans and pose for photos. What impressed me was he was  gracious and kind to each person.  Congratulations Kelly for being such a classy person and true example of aloha for all surfers.
