'Sting' polices the Pipe Masters ... Ray© 2008 - Photos by Joli/WPS
What chance do mere mortals have against the great man-fish, Kelly Slater?

That's a rhetorical question of course, because, right now, the answer is flat-out "none!"

Even the Hawaiian sea creatures are on his side, turning out to show their support, as seen in this shot by Peter Wilson, of a stingray cheering the World Champ on at the end of his winning ride in the Pipe Masters.

It's all getting too weird...

Yeah Brink, suppose it isnt Kelly either. Look closer, there are no cephalic lobes either side of its mouth. And stingrays are found in Hawaii, all round the pacific. The croc man Stev Irwin was killed by same type of ray.. and they are found in Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans..

The board he was using resembles a stingray,perhaps it was a love display from the stingray!
