Another Day at the Office
J
ust before his 42nd birthday, 11-time ASP World Champ Kelly Slater went to
work again at the 5-Star Volcom Pipe Pro, picking up where he left off after
a resounding victory at last year’s Billabong Pipe Masters, the last ASP event
for 2013. Obviously Slater doesn’t need the points to qualify, but he couldn’t
pass up perfect, heaving 8- to 10-foot Pipe barrels for the first ASP tour event
in 2014. A nice tune up before embarking on his 24th year on the World
Championship Tour (WCT). The Volcom Pipe Pro was Slater’s 66th world tour
victory. He is committed to the first event of the WCT at Snapper Rocks, but
beyond that Slater is taking a wait and see approach for the rest of 2014.
Two other local standouts faired decently at Pipe. Both Cory Arrambide and
Conner Coffin advanced to the quarterfinals. Each finished with an =13th.
