Hi Everyone! What a great time at the Slater brother's Contest. Surf was up! And the weather was great too!
The whole party started with a kick off party/fundraiser at Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar! Raffles, Great Food and drinks and of course music on Rusty's deck made for perfect start to the weekend contest and the events that came with it...
Thanks to Surfertoday.com and Ryan and Maggie for photos and story of this event...Buddha SurfGuru...
Todd Holland and Justin Quintal have conquered the 2010 Slater Brothers Invitational, in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
The event held by the trio - Sean, Kelly and Stephen - is supporting the World Skin Cancer Foundation and it was great oppportunity to get in touch with the "modern" old school surfing players.
The 2010 Slater Brothers Invitational was attended by 36 shortboarders and 24 longboarders.
Kelly Slater showed his best tricks in the "Expression Session", which lasted 45 minutes.
In the longboard competition, Justin Quintal got over Sean Bowman, "Skippy" Slater and Steve McLean to reconquer his title. Quintal is looking for sponsors in order to run the world surfing competitions.
Hundreds of fans watched in the beach how Holland beated Bryan Hewiston and Cam Anderson.
"It's not so much about the winning, it's just so much a great event," Holland said.
This is a very special competition, as Kelly and his brothers raise funds and awareness for prevention of skin cancer, an issue every surfer should take in consideration while spending hours in the peak.
"Thanks a lot for coming out and supporting this event and for all the support you've given me through the years," Slater told everyone at Cocoa Beach.
"Next week is a big week and I'll try to bring it home. And then we'll have a nice, quiet party at Coconuts."
