Slater + Reynolds = Freak on Freak in Rd. 2 of Quik Pro France

It was the best of times for world number 2 and 11X world champ Kelly Slater, and the worst of times. The best because that’s just what it’s like being in France this time of year. Everyone loves Kelly there, and he loves it, too. It was the worst of times, however, because he lost his Round 1 heat and will be forced to surf against wildcard Dane Reynolds in the do or die Round of 2. And while a world title hangs on the line for Slater, Dane could care less. He’s just surfing for his sponsor, as he’d probably be more stoked surfing Emma Wood this weekend than in front of thousands of screaming French surf fans. But at least he gets to go up against his former teammate, Kelly Slater, which will make the first heat of Round 2 the heat to watch.
