I cannot believe they scored Slats higher than Taj in the final.

It was close, fine, but looking at the vids of their waves, Taj has 2 bigger, nicer waves, he takes both of them apart, Slats has 3 smaller, fatter waves and dosn't pull as many turns, and just grovels them at the end.

Watch the video on the Hurley Pro site.
It's bull****e.

Unless there were other scoring waves involved, it don't make no sense.

'ken Slater.

true

I'd post a link but porn aint allowed

ASP World Title Scenarios
COOLANGATTA, Australia (Thursday, September 11, 2008) - Well, we’ve just seen an incredible event at the Boost Mobile Pro pres. by Hurley at Lower Trestles and Kelly Slater has won his 5th event of the season.

While he may be the runaway ratings leader on the 2008 ASP World Tour, the Floridian hasn’t clinched his 9th Title...not yet anyway.

Slater could grab the 2008 ASP World Title at the next stop, the Quiksilver Pro France, and here are the scenarios:

- If Kelly wins in France, Taj needs a 3rd and Bede and Mick need 2nds to take the Title race to Mundaka (Joel is out of the race if this happens).

- If Kelly finishes 2nd in France, the race for the ASP World Title will certainly go to Mundaka as even if Taj gets a 33rd, he can still come back. Bede will need a 3rd and Parko a 1st in France to stay in the race if Kelly gets a 2nd.

So there you have it kids, it’s a win in France for Kelly to seal.
