I think barley's referring to Sean Davey's shot from King Island in 2001.

Wasn't that pic just for shock value or something? i can't remember the story its a long time ago.

But even if he did at one stage enjoy a smoke, so what, he can change his mind, we all change our views over time, plus no one is perfect, im sure the guy has some flaws or dark side.

Personally im stoked to have grown up surfing in a time just before kelly came onto the scene then seen him do it all and become the best surf in history so far, possibly ever.

Not only the best surfer ever, but likely the most dominant athlete in history.
