Back in the middle of summer Kelly Slater and Taj Burrow went on a double-date to Tavarua with their sibling-girlfriends. Aussies Chippa Wilson and Jay Davies were the fourth and fifth wheels on the trip, which was aimed at meeting a healthy South Pacific swell at Cloudbreak.

Kelly would get a cover shot from a chopper shoot during the big day, and finally we have our first visions of the trip courtesy of Riley Blakeway. The photo at right, taken by John Respondek for Surfing Magazine, is from the bird.

Below is an entire Todd Glaser photo gallery of the trip from Surfer Mag.



This is chapter one of three. More to come...
