“[Kelly Slater, for one, said Mar Ohno shouldn't be underestimated:] He has the wildcard again and can be dangerous if he loosens up and just surfs, ... It'll be interesting to see if he gets on a roll and gives a real run like he did against Andy Irons in Niijima two years ago.”
“[Kelly Slater dijo desde el saque que Mar Ohno es un tablista que no debería ser subestimado por nadie:] Nuevamente ha conseguido ser uno de los Wildcards del evento y podría ser muy peligroso si logra relajarse y se concentra al máximo en su propio surfing, ... Sería muy interesante ver si Mar Ohno se pone las pilas y saca a relucir lo mejor de su surfing para entorpecer el avance de alguno de nosotros, tal y como lo hizo con Andy Irons en Niijima hace dos años.”
“Andy gets ahead of the pack, it will be, but if he falls between Fanning and Munro then they could step it up and it will all be back for the taking. Trestles (in California) will tell all.”
“To receive a 10-point ride is a blessing in itself, but to have it honored by giving to those who could use a little support to accomplish the things they want to do in life is a bigger blessing. The school is something I believe hugely in. They provide a special place for kids to understand things that many people avoid or never learn to deal with their whole lives.”
