Kelly Locked In The First Perfect-20 Heat In WSL History
Slater won the event with the first ever perfect 20 heat total in WSL history. This set him up for a banner year in which he claimed his seventh World Title, a return to form after watching arch-rival Andy Irons win three World Titles in a row. Note that Shane Beschen scored a perfect 30 at Kirra in 1996, back when three scores were counted.

The Hobgood Brothers Were Ripping
The Hobgood brothers are two of the best barrel riders to grace the Championship Tour, and their prowess was on full display during this event. Damien made the final against Kelly, while C.J. Hobgood was knocked out in the Quarter Finals by Slater, despite having a heat total of more than 18 points.

Kelly Slater Drank A Beer In The Barrel
Slater celebrated his impressive win by cracking a beer in the barrel at Teahupoo and drinking it on his way out of the tube -- one of the most impressive victory laps in sporting history.
