Slater Tour: The Rebel Yelling Continues

by The Editors on December 7, 2009

TbTerry Hardy apparently hasn’t let a few ASP improvements get in the way of his plans for the Slater Tour aka CST, according to a story on Surfing Life.

Over the weekend Taj confirmed he had been approached by the CST promoters but told The Australian newspaper: “I don’t really like the sound of it, to be honest. It sounds really unorganised. The guy I spoke to didn’t seem to know that much. It was kind of bizarre. I just thought they’d be a lot better and a lot more organised in their approach. It didn’t seem very professional. . . “It doesn’t sound like they’re going to get the very best guys. If that’s the case, I’m definitely not interested. I’d only do it if all the very best guys were doing it. I’m not interested in separating the top ten in the world. It seems silly. it will just dilute it, i think.

We agree with Taj. Surfing has come too far. And with Andy Irons back on the ASP WCT next year then it really doesn’t matter all that much what Kelly Slater decides to do.
