| Slater carried up the beach for the sixth time this year. (Well, he got thrown over the harbor at Mundaka when he won his ninth, but we're not counting that.) "It's inexplicable," Slater said of his win and banner season. "I'm just stoked. I wasn't even worried about surfing the event, so to surf it and win and get that board (a Gerry Lopez designed surfboard trophy). I'll cherish that for sure." Photo: ASP/Covered Images/Rowland |
