ASP World Tour, Stop 3

Next week its Chopes versus the surf professionals for round three of the Foster's ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti at Teahupoo, Taiarapu, May 4-14, 2007.

American surfers have made this their event with only Andy Irons (HAW) in 2002 and Mark Occhilupo (AUS), at the first run of the competition back in 1999, spoiling the U.S record of wins.

It was on this wave that Kelly Slater scored two perfect 10 rides, to accumulate an incredible scoreline of 20 out of a possible 20.
