Kelly Slater Tri Od Štirih

Kelly Slater je letos dobil že tri od štirih tekmovanj za svetovni pokal in ostaja sploh edini surfer izmed top 45-ih z zmago. Zadnjič na Tahitiju je namreč zmagal surfer s povabilo organizatorja. Kaj je Kelly povedal po zmagi na Fiji-ju?

 

 

“I don’t think I’ve ever won three out of the
first four events on tour,” Slater said. “I’ve won the first two a
couple times but I think this is the first time I’ve ever done this.
Being the only guy on tour to win an event is pretty odd – I don’t
think there has ever been that situation on tour. I know [Tom] Curren
and Potts [Martin Potter] both won the first three, but I don’t think a
wildcard filled in that fourth one.”
