This past weekend surfing world champion Kelly Slater stopped by to experience firsthand an underwater functional training workout, and with Laird out in some big surf, Gabby was willing to take him through an intense training session. Of course, Kelly being one of the world’s top watermen quickly got the hang of things, and was soon matching Gabby stride for stride. It was an amazing workout just to witness as both Gabby and Kelly demonstrated perfect breath control along with an ultra-high level of fitness worthy of truly world class athletes.
