Kelly Slater and John John Florence have reached the quarterfinals of the 2015 Volcom Pipe Pro, at Banzai Pipeline, Hawaii. The fast 8-to-10 foot barrels firing at both Backdoor and classic Pipe were a proving ground for the best tube riders in the world. Slater, 42, is not ready to let go. New season, new victories. “It’s cool to surf with Kaimana, I surfed against his dad 20-plus years ago, so to now be surfing against his kid is pretty cool. This is the ultimate playground for me,” said Slater.
