Mitch Coleborn takes Down Kelly Slater in Round 1 of Volcom Pro Fiji June 4, 2012 – Tags:

For Mitch Coleborn Yesterdays round one heat of his Maiden WCT at Tavarua in Fiji was a fairy tale to say the least. In Throaty 6-8 foot perfect pits, the flashy goofy footer who has helped re-create the finner in recent years has shown that he is no slouch in the pit either!
Mitch, up against Kelly Slater & Kai Otton started Slowly with a two point ride early on then midway through the heat opened up his scorers with a big chunky left pit that landed him a 9.27 to go with his 2.0 he was still in third place after kelly & kai both had scores in the 6-8 range.
With only 7 seconds to go Coleborn had just missed a set & was lucky enough to stroke into a set with just enough time, i personally thought he might of been too deep, but i don’t know Tavarua either! What ensued was Two pits a carve a buzzer ringing & the highest score of round one! Coleborn straight through to round 3 can’t wait to see where this fairytale heads……..
