 Interview: How does Kelly, at 34 and with more titles than most surfing nations, stay so involved?
Slater’s win at the year’s first WCT was a sight. He never went haywire, never visibly dominated a heat. Instead, he played with his opponents like a cat with mice, often teasing them into making a move they’d later regret, or causing them to freeze up while waiting for nonexistent Perfect Waves. His tactical moves seemed to keep him interested in the event, while a number of other stars went the other way – lost interest as the swell vanished, and lost heats as a result. How does Kelly, at 34 and with more titles than most surfing nations, stay so involved? Surfing’s Nick Carroll trapped him for this interview  SHATTERED: Kelly Slater’s still finding ways to win – so look out.
Here’s a shattering blow for all the Surf Industry Conspiracy Theorists: Kelly Slater hasn’t won a Quiksilver-sponsored WCT event since Biarritz in 1996.  Melanie Redman-Carr wins the Roxy Pro

Rookies continue to upset in the Quiksilver Pro round three
It was all about the rookies again today in the remaining heats of round three of the Quiksilver Pro presented by Samsung.  Nick Carroll reports on the Roxy Pro round three
The Roxy Pro third round shows us just where the chicks are at. The vibe at Duranbah (forget the Stuporbank) turned down a notch today. Not only was the surf a little smaller, but the Roxy Pro was on. In an echo of years past, before women's surfwear earned billions, the girls still draw a marginally smaller crowd. But the competition these days deserves more. This year's women's WCT is a mirror image of the men's - a bunch of hot young rookies against some powerfully seasoned pros - and it's never looked more legitimate.
