Um ein Haar war es für Kelly Slater schon in Runde 5 vorbei, als ihm im Heat gegen Jeremy Flores die Priorität genommen wurde und Jeremy so die letzte Welle des Heats surfen durfte.
Grosse Aufregung, die sich nach der Punktevergabe jedoch wieder legte. Dann war King Kelly nicht mehr zu halten. im Viertelfinale musste sich Adrian Buchan geschlagen geben und im Finale Joel Parkinson, der eigentlich das Event dominierte. Kelly Slater gewann somit seinen 50ten ASP World Championship Tour Stopp. Gratulation.

Hier Kelly im Interview:
I know I went out there feeling like I didn’t have anything to lose because Parko (Joel Parkinson) was the form guy. He was pretty much the standout in every round. He schooled Medina (Gabriel Medina) yesterday somehow and was combo’ing everybody. I just figured I had to get myself on the best waves and let go a little bit, but it got really quiet out there. It was the first time something really felt like it went my way when they (the judges) took my priority away. By the time they announced it, Joel was above the wave and couldn’t catch it. That was the turning point for me. Every contest I’ve won, there’s some moment where things go my way.”

Im World Ranking führt Mick Fanning weiter, gefolgt von seinem Freund Joel Parkinson und Kelly Slater. Es könnte in Frankreich wirklich spannend werden!
