It’s been an amusing week for surfing….. Ke11y Slater as he is now known, has won the 2011 ASP World Tour. The ASP at first calculated that Kelly Slater had won the contest, and then changed their minds as they admitted they had added up the scores incorrectly! This was after everyone had celebrated, printed t-shirts and Kelly had paraded round with his cup! Kelly very magnanimously said “There are no hard feelings towards ASP and mistakes happen”. He then entered the next heat and won, and so could finally claim his crown,… again! This is the 11th time he has won the contest and he finished his surf with an amazing barrel that looked impossible to complete yet he popped out the other end, seemingly where others would have fallen! It was superb and worth watching here. And the event is still ON – watch it live here.

He has won all these ASP events:

2010: Rip Curl Pro Search Puerto Rico – USA Territory

Is there no way of beating him? Well done Kelly Slater!!
