Kelly Slater dedicated his 10th ASP World Title victory to the Irons family, saying "If it wasn’t for Andy (Irons) there is no way I’d be here in this position right now. I don’t really know what else to say, I’m a little overwhelmed right now. I want to dedicate this to Andy and to my family.†© ASP/ Cestari

“It has literally been 20 years since my first win here and that's pretty crazy. Obviously when you go out there you want to win the heat, but I would have been really stoked if Dane (Reynolds) pulled a 10 out of his hat at the end of the heat, it would have been pretty rad.†- Kelly Slater 2012 Quiksilver Pro France Champion. © ASP/ Kirstin
Kelly Slater who was in need of an excellent ride in the dying minutes of his Semifinals matchup against Taj Burrow at the Quiksilver Pro New York, rose to the occasion, launching the event’s only perfect 10-point ride with a gigantic frontside full-rotation slob grab on a closeout section to overtake Burrow in dramatic fashion. © ASP/ Rowland
“Today was one of the most special days in my life. It’s a day I have dreamed about since I was a little kid – big, perfect, West-angled Pipeline and a showdown at the Pipe Masters. If I had stepped away from the sport five years ago, I wouldn’t have had today. I want more days like this so I’m definitely back next year.†- Kelly Slater 2013 Billabong Pipe Masters Champion. © ASP/ Kirstin
