MIDDLES, Puerto Rico (Saturday, October 30, 2010) – The Rip Curl Pro Search Puerto Rico enjoyed a massive opening day of competition, completing Round 1 of the men’s as well as Rounds 1 and 2 of the women’s in punchy 1.5 metre righthanders at Middles.
Kelly Slater, currently nine-time ASP World Champion and ASP World No. 1 at the moment, could potentially obtain an unprecedented 10th ASP World Title in Puerto Rico, and moved one step closer to that goal today with an emphatic Round 1 victory.
