THE QUIKSILVER CROSSING CHANGES TACK.....see latest Captains Log.





























February 2000 Polynesia
Slater, Dorian...


 

In February, 2000, Kelly Slater and his brothers Sean and Stephen, plus Shane Dorian, Ben Bourgeois and Fred Patacchia flew to the Crossing for a predicted swell in the six-foot range that would last approximately a week. A shallow but very hollow righthander was discovered, with a left just across the channel. The swell arrived perfectly on time and some epic barrels were scored (with Shane Dorian scoring the longest at 11 seconds).
