Aloha surfers and beachgoers,
The Challenger Series just finished its third out of eight contests this sea- son at the Ballito Pro in South Africa. This second tier is just below the first or top tier, the Elite Championship Tour.

Slater’s first win was back in 1996, then again in 2003 and 2005. His last win was 14 years ago in 2008. It’s astonishing. Only Australia’s Mick Fanning has four titles at this world-class venue. I can’t wait.

As of this writing we are just about to start day one of the Corona Open J-Bay held at Jeffreys Bay’s Super- tubes — one of, if not the best right-hand point breaks in the world. This is event No. 9 out of 11 in determining our next world champs.
