Slater claims gold at Hurley Pro, Trestles CA

Kelly Slater celebrated a much needed victory this past Saturday September 18th at the Hurley Pro in Orange County.  With smaller than usual conditions Kelly and many other top ranked ASP surfers went to town on the chest to head high sets that gave surfers clean right hand lines.  Though Kelly seemed to be on his top game,  Bede Durbidge the young gun hailing from AUS, put Slater to the test after defeating the well known and top ranked Dane Reynolds and earning the silver medal.

After the victory at Trestles, Slater took the ASP tour lead with 40,000 points. Another challenging competition is right around the corner for the gold seeking Floridan who hopes to win his 10th ASP title come the beginning of December.  Nest stop is in five days,  overseas to the Quiksilver Pro France, good luck Kelly!
