“@kellyslater surfed today and looked good. Portugal is not his favorite event. In fact, it may be his least favorite event but he paddled out in the final heat of the round and it was pretty clear that no, just being here wasn’t enough. He’s still clinging to the Olympic dream and needs to make a bunch of heats here if that’s remotely going to happen. For most of the day guys were struggling to jam one turn, but Kelly found a wave for five turns.” Hit our link in bio for @seano888’s Full report on opening day in Portugal.
