Kelly Slater came out striking on day one of the Globe Pro Fiji, scoring a perfect 10 to cap an amazing first day in the South Pacific. Reportedly the waves have been next to perfect measuring in at a close 6 feet at Restaurants. Currently ranked No. 1, Slater took over round one with a first round score of 19.73 out of 20.00, proving once again why he is in the number one spot. But the question that is on alot of peoples minds is, can Kelly keep this up after having a near perfect first round? That remains to be seen, but Slater fans can only hope so.
“I wanted to get a quick start because it was kind of slow in the heats before mine so I started off with a 7.8,” Slater said. “That wasn’t a bad score for what was out there earlier, but set after set just kept getting better and better. One set had eight waves in it. There was definitely no shortage of waves and no hassling so it was a special heat, you don’t get too many heats like that on tour.”
After finishing 17th last week in Tahiti, Slater rose to the occasion and came out firing early. Stay tuned as we bring you more coverage of the Globe Pro Fiji.
