Day One Quiksilver Pro Highlights – Gold Coast

February 28th, 2009 by Adam

Watch surfing highlights from the first day of the 2009 Quiksilver Pro – Gold Coast, Australia.

Check out Kelly Slater riding a 5′4″ rounded nose surfboard that he shaped→ Go to Round 1, Heat# 8. Slater is insane! I have a 5′6″ fish surfboard (about 3″ thick and lime green) from the 1980’s and I think that thing is hard to ride. But Slater is Slater for a reason. That’s why he has 9 world titles. What else does he have to prove?

The event was called off Sunday due to strong onshore winds and smaller swell. The contest directors will make a call Monday morning (Local Snapper Rocks time).
