With 3 minutes to go in the Final at the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles, Ca. Kelly Slater needed an 8.6. Phil Macdonald had priority and let one go that did not look workable. Kelly hopped on it and worked it all the way down to the shore with the local crowd going crazy. Then the silent came….waiting for the judges score…. A 9.07. Utter chaos erupted on the beach. Kelly has done it again. Listen in a Davo covers the action live at Trestles.

Andy Irons gets his first CT win this year by beating Kelly Slater in the final at the Quicksilver Pro in Japan. Under 6-8 foot shifty conditions Andy posted a 9.5 early on in the match although Kelly came right back and posted an 8.83 and a 9.23. This left Andy needing a 8.56 with less than 6 minutes on the clock. Then it came, the wave Andy needed. He pulled in deep and was covered for what seemed forever, pulled up to an insane floater before the wave closed out on him. The score was posted: 9.93. Kelly gets combo-ed in the final.
