It was the wisdom of age against the exuberance of youth as 41 year-old Kelly Slater went up against 15 year-old Aussie Jack Robinson, with Slater, 11-time World Champion and amassing an impressive 18.17 to claim victory.
And Joel Parkinson also ran out as a winner, against Oney Anwar and Parkinson was full of praise for his opponent -
SOUNDBITE: (English) Joel Parkinson, USA:“It was so funny. He (Anwar) is a real cocky little kid. He came up to me and he was like ‘ah, you know what is going to happen if I get a set (of good waves)’ and I said ‘ahh, what are you going to do?’ So he was trying to get all cocky and then he fell in that one and he is a really good kid, really talented surfer. So, it is good to see him you know, getting in the event I am sure he will be in a few more.”
Elsewhere, Hawaii’s Sebastian Zietz, Brazilian Gabriel Medina and Australian veteran Taj Burrow also claimed their places in the third round.
