Despite there being two events still remaining in the season, Slater cannot be surpassed at the top of the ratings by any of his closest rivals (including Taj Burrow (AUS), Andy Irons (HAW), Joel Parkinson (AUS) and Mick Fanning (AUS)) who were all eliminated prior to or by Slater in today’s event, the Billabong Pro Mundaka.
It has been another scintillating year for Slater, kicking off the season with a sound win in the Quiksilver Pro on Australia’s Gold Coast.
