The world's best one star, also known as the 2nd annual Komune Bali Pro presented by the Mad Hueys was another powerful success with great weather, pumping waves and plenty of free booze around the pool.
All the legends that made it out to Komune to watch the comp go down were treated to a show of high performance surfing by some of the best in the world. With a stacked field including world tour competitors Taj Burrow and Jay Davies as well as a bevy of local shredders and upcoming talents, the action out in the water was nearly as hot as the action in the pool after the onshore came up each day.
With all this fun to be had, it's not surprising that people like Kelly Slater have expressed interest in trying to get a spot in what has become a permanent fixture on the WSL calendar. See you all next year!
