Although word quickly spread that Slater was under the weather, Wills surfed extremely well and showed no sign of being intimidated by the 7 time World Tour champion.

With a 2 week wait period and tghe ability to be completed in 4 days, the Pipeline Masters is organized in way that good waves for the competitors are assured.
