The Dark Horse


Australian surfer Adrian Buchan has put Kelly Slater's world championship celebrations on ice by claiming a maiden ASP title in France. The NSW Central Coast surfer went head-to-head with the eight times world champion and came out on top, 15.73 to 15.16, in a keenly contested final at Les Bourdaines. Had Buchan lost the heat, Slater would have clinched his ninth world title. Slater only needs to finish ninth or better at the next event in Spain to win the world title.
