Kelly Slater and Gabriel Medina’s surprise exit in Round 3 of the Rip Curl Pro Portugal left me a bit disappointed. But then I looked back at Kelly’s 540 during a free-surf in Peniche, Portugal, though Hurley are claiming is a 720 with the foam spin, and I was like..”Go Kelly”. So now I’m frothing for title race conclusion at the Billabong Pipe Masters in Hawaii. Anyway, that 540 from Kelly was so awesome – really clean and inverted. I think the reaction of Brett Simpson and Kolohe Andino in Hurley’s Tournote’s video, above, pretty much sums it up!
