Kelly Slater is back in action at the Outerknown Tahiti Pro surfing event, facing Jack Robinson in Round 3, Heat 7.
54-year-old surfing legend Kelly Slater is making his 21st appearance in the Tahiti Pro, facing 28-year-old Jack Robinson from Perth Australia. Slater and Robinson have split the four matchups between one another, with each winning two of their head-to-head meetings.
Slater rolled back time in Round 2 of the competition, putting up the second best score of the round (19.06), behind fellow American, Griffin Colapinto (19.60).
The two men will search for the best waves on August 12.
Slater is the underdog against the much younger Robinson, but if he can replicate the round 2 wave he could pull off the upset.
