Tahiti Surf Pro

Kelly Slater attracted a lot of attention at the Tahiti Surf Pro. But it was others who won...

Kelly Slater attracted a great deal of attention due to his wildcard entry at the Tahiti Surf Pro in Teahupo’o, which was sponsored by his company “Outerknown” (Link to the article).

The criticism had created enormous pressure. Slater was desperate to win in order to silence his critics. In the end, the 54-year-old was knocked out before the quarter-finals. And two-time event winner Jack Robinson, who had knocked Kelly out, was also eliminated in the quarter-finals.
