10 times world champion Kelly Slater he was looking pretty excited and look at
this straight into it Kelly Slater big hacking turn there straight off the
bottom and throw in the tail out there was two guys at the event one was you
know yeah you know we probably pushed it about an hour too long waiting for the
tide to get get low and I think we didn't realize with this little bit of
north wind and then alternate more east the current was really gonna chew it up
as it got to low tide and you know I thought after all the afternoons we've
had out there at lower and the lower tide with a little wind I thought it was
actually gonna be better but you know we probably should have started an hour
earlier and and we would have had a better final maybe I don't know I just you
know just I just go by feel I mean same thing in the water you know you got to
be in the moment and you and just see how it feels when a wave comes decide
whether it's the one you want and see how the wall looks on it and you know I
think I think Taj and I both made a couple errors in that final he fell on
one I fell on two they were probably would have probably both been my best
waves Taj fell in one that was his best way probably so you know that would have
really would have changed things but I think we're expecting I think we both
had higher expectations on our mind of what the waves are gonna be and that
probably mess with us yeah it was I mean you know in a situation like that you
get down to the final and you got a guy like Taj has just been going crazy you
want to just be able to have a battle back and forth not worry about you know
priority and things like that you just want to both be getting waves in every
set and just light it up for the crowd and and you know made the best man win
but you know it just came down to it really just came down to the two average
waves I had that weren't anything special and and you know Taj really only
got that one wave and that was about it still and amazing
Toddy Klein look how happy Kelly Slater is he's got his KS 10 hat on well they
might have to reprint another one with the
and won the quick silver pro Kelly Slater
yeah I don't know he's got the magic touch yeah it could have gone either way
but yeah Kelly's just he's relaxed and happy and he doesn't yeah it just went
it went his way it could have gone either way really easy so I'm not too bummed
I'm just looking forward to the next one now on the day I'm I can I can do it
we're both service well-positioned yet I look what they're ready
