Slater’s Road to Victory
Reigning 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater further asserted his dominance on the sport of surfing this year, winning yet another elite ASP World Title. The iconic Floridian has remained at the forefront of progressive surfing for two decades, a feat practically unheard of in any sport. This year was no different, as Slater kicked off his road to the top with victories at Snapper and Trestles while remaining amazingly consistent. The ASP put together a photo-feature to document Slater’s path to No. 11.

Injury Update: Patrick Gudauskas
Patrick Gudauskas does not hold back. The man is full-throttle every wave – sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Tahiti, 2010, on the verge of missing the field reduction cutoff, Gudang sticks a huge Rodeo in marginal conditions at Teahupoo to advance past Chris Davidson and into the safety zone. This year at the Rip Curl Pro San Francisco, Pat sticks another phenomenal inverted Gorkin flip in his clash against Jordy Smith but the result was much more painful. ASP caught up with the San Clementian as he was on his way to rehab.
