Kelly Slater, reigning 11-time ASP World Champion, claimed his 49th elite tour victory, taking out the Volcom Fiji Pro over Gabriel Medina in pumping four-to-six foot (1.5 – 2 metre) surf at Cloudbreak.
The Volcom Fiji Pro culminated in exciting fashion, with Slater and Medina each pushing the limits of high-performance surfing at the famed, oceanic lefthander.

Mick Fanning has taken over the ASP WCT ratings’ lead with his Equal 3rd place finish at the Volcom Fiji Pro. A standout performer throughout the event, even having a crack at Cloudbreak during Friday’s mega swell, Fanning was unable to find a rhythm in this morning’s Semifinal bout with Medina.
