well it is better – but like the comment above a surf statue (without a wave) looks out of context or lacks context. It might be easier with a lopezian or duke k clasical manefestian but that is in its own way an icon vs a bit of current representation of surfy style.
that said the kook deserves all the derrision and sh*t it gets – long live the SHARK! that was such an appropriate improvement on the abomination
They figured it out at Tourmo. A plaque with an image of Frye in mid-glide. It sends the appropriate message. Somebody wrote that it is about the wave–that right, no surfer is bigger than the energy.
Kelly Slater is a million-dollar, plastic, super-hero action figure. His statue will come to life at night to fight crime and keep safe your hometown streets. Sleep well, America (and Quiksilver stockholders).
