Kelly has just won the Billabong Pro Tahiti, beating Owen Wright in clean overhead surf.
In his 61st final Slater held a nine and high eight to win by just over a point. Owen had a nine and a high seven. Slater took a couple of poundings including going over the falls backwards as he tried to hustle Owen towards the end of the heat.
With the rest of the top six losing early Kelly is back in the title race after missing J-Bay to stay in Fiji.
The next event is in New York starting later this week. The event infrastructure is being rebuilt after having to be taken down due to Hurrican Irene.
