After winning the Rip Curl Pro,
Kelly Slater showed his appreciation for the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative and generously gave them his winning trophy bell...
"I'm really excited because I remembered that before this contest I promised myself that if I won, I would give to trophy to the Wathaurong (local aboriginal tribe) people," Slater said. "I didn't remember that until I was out in the water and right when I did, those waves came. So before I give it to them, I want to pass the trophy around for everyone to give a ring because that's never been done before."
