From BillabongPro: With a two-week waiting period beginning July 15th, the fourth event on the 2010 ASP Men’s World Tour boasts an increased total prize pool of US$400,000 and 10,000 ratings points for the winner. American surfing super-star Kelly Slater leads the world ratings heading into Jeffreys Bay, perfectly positioned for a run at a possible and historic 10th World Title. Looking to eclipse Slater’s lead is an all-star cast including defending and two-time event champion Joel Parkinson, fellow Aussies and former Billabong Pro winners Mick Fanning and Taj Burrow, along with current top 10 rated surfers Dane Reynolds (USA), Bobby Martinez (USA), Adriano De Souza (BRZ) and of course, local hero Jordy Smith (ZAF). And keep an eye on the other local wildcards and the outcome of the VZ Trials!
