SNR-2006-03-09-#23 - Kelly Slater Wins the 2006 Quicksilver Pro Australia

Kelly Slater wins the Quicksilver Pro Australia by defeating Taj Burrow in the final. Listen in as Davo covers the event leading up to the nail biting final between 7 time world champ Kelly Slater and a healthy Taj Burrow coming off the injury list. With the event moved down the beach from Snapper Rocks to Duranbah we saw small surf for the final in 2-3 ft waves. Even though the waves were small Kelly hand picked his equipment using one of his pin-tails to fully take advantage of his gouging turns in the small stuff. Taj kept the crowd silent in the last minute needing a 8.65 although the score dropped in at 6.23. Kelly Wins!!! www.surfnewsradio.com [e-mail]
