It looks as if 39-year-young Ke11y Slater is well on his way to a mind boggling ELEVENTH world title after winning his third event of 2011. In typical Slater fashion, he pulled a nine out of his wetsuit, in the last few minutes of the final at the 2011 Hurley Pro at Trestles for today's win.
"How does he do it?" asks a world title-less pro surfer.
Parko, Taj, Rob aka Jesus, and Cheyne Horan I'm talking to you!
I'm certain it has something to do with the number eleven, Ke11y, in his name. And to think I thought 8(Sl8er) was great. Yes, it's the number eleven and the coconut water. In fact, I just drank a gallon of Zico Coconut Water, myself.
"Burp......."
It seems as if Slater's only competition is Owen "Avatar" Wright, who towers half a foot over Slater, not counting his blonde locks. The two have met up in the last three finals, Slater 2, Wright 1.
Four events are remaining in the world surfing title race, next stop France, beginning October 4th. Slater Worshipers put on your bibs, I sense a perpetual fountain of drool, Slater's real fountain of youth, by the "I ♥Ke11y Club." And by "I ♥Ke11y Club," I mean the surfing media, the surfing fans, and especially Slater's fellow pro surfers, who stand around scratching their heads each time Slater pulls a win out of his magical bag of tricks.
Andy Irons is rolling over in his grave, right now. Though, I do believe he is at least attempting to work his competitive spirit through Owen Wright, who is nipping at King Ke11y's heels......
