Slater Returns to Margaret River Reigning 10-time ASP World Champ and current early-season leader in the hunt for the 2011 crown, Mr. Kelly Slater, is set to compete in the second ASP PRIME contest of the year, the Telstra Drug Aware Pro at Margaret River in Western Australia. The return to the event marks the first time Slater has dawned a singled at Margaret River since 1993 and with his lethal form at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, the Floridian will be the man to beat once again.
FULL REPORT:
Jadson Andre: The Professional by SURFING Jadson Andre was the only 2010 ASP Dream Tour rookie to snag an elite event victory, taking out a dream win at the Billabong Pro in front of his hometown crowd. While many are in awe of the high-flying Brazilian’s ability to consistently punt massive airs, several critics questioned Andre’s ability to maintain his ranking amongst the world’s most well-rounded surfers. With that criticism in mind, the hard-working Brazilian has become obsessive about building upon his flaws, traveling around the world to seek out waves that will help him improve in areas he feels he’s lacking. SURFING Magazine recently caught up with Andre to see what his rookie year was like on the ASP World Tour from his daily contest regimen to his breakdown of the judging criteria to what life is like for a rookie on the big stage.

Dane’s Support for Japan Continues Two weeks ago, Dane Reynolds pledged 100% of sales from his clothing line “Summer Teeth” as well as matching from his own personal account to help the Japanese in their time of need. The outpouring of support raised over $10,000 which went directly to Relief International. Still in possession of a desire to help, Reynolds and his effervescent girlfriend Courtney took to the piano to create “We Heart Japan”. Not since Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” has a song so captured the goodwill and emotions resonating amongst the surf community right now for our friends and family in Japan. No official word yet on how Dane’s recovery is going, but he appears to be in bright spirits all the same.

Slater is from Florida by ESPN Kelly Slater has ruled the sport of surfing for nearly two decades while collecting his 10 ASP World Titles and 46 elite event wins, not to mention the additional accolades along the way. No one can question Slater’s accomplishments, but one thing that often leaves the global surfing community in disbelief is that the reigning ASP World Champ is from Florida, which is notoriously known for having less than desirable surf. ESPN recently caught up with several of his Floridian peers to get a Sunshine State perspective on the man that is king in his home state.
