Slater’s win in Brazil puts the 9 time world champion back into contention for a possible 10th world title. After three 17th place finishes, Kelly made a last-minute decision to enter last week’s contest. Slater had to endure late flights, missing baggage and even surfed his first heat on a borrowed surfboard.
Slater entered the contest ranked 25th in the current ASP standings. His win in Brazil propelled him to 9th.
Kelly will surf the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay this week – a contest that he has won more than any other surfer. Slater has won at J-Bay four times…this contest could make Parko start to sweat.
