Yesterday Robert Kelly Slater racked up his 50th WCT win when he clinched the Hurley Pro at Trestles over Joel Parkinson. It was Slater's 6th Trestles trophy and rocketed him back into contention for this year's world title. It was yet another diamond day for the 11-time world champion.

ASP photographers Kirstin Scholtz and Sean Rowland captured the champ as he moved around the competition, patiently dealing with media and fans, and ruthlessly disposing of his rivals.
