Slater was a man possessed on the final day of competition, surviving horrific wipeouts throughout his five heats of competition to find himself in this evenings Final against Buchan. Despite an incredible backhand barrel and a last-minute effort on a righthander, the Australians early scores would prove too much for Slater to overcome. ASP/ Kirstin
