Kelly wins the Hurley Pro, Trestles

“No! I can’t believe it. This guy – he’s unbelievable,” cries an American fan, both hands clasping his head as Kelly Slater exits a barrel. He’s right. It’s the final of the Hurley Pro Trestles and the 38 year old, nine-time world champion has just found himself a deep tube at a wave that typically doesn’t barrel. It earns him a 9.53 and the contest win over Bede Durbidge. More importantly, it furthers his ratings lead over Jordy Smith, who relinquished the number one slot after losing in the quarter-finals.
