Kelly Slater wins his 6th Pipemasters

Kelly Slater won his 6th Pipe Masters on the North Shore last week in classic Hawaiian Surf!

Any other surfer would have just paddled in and conceded the heat, but not Kelly. He scored a 9.1 wave, and a 10.0 wave in less than 2 minutes, giving him a 19.1 out of 20 to win his heat. Only Kelly Slater could manage to pull off a miracle like this.
