Kelly Slater returned home to Cocoa Beach after winning the 2006 ASP World Title in Spain. His brother Sean Slater held a benefit contest for the World Skin Cancer Foundation and he attended and surfed in the contest. This is Kelly Slater’s 8th World Title. He also returned last year after the 7th World Title and Don Eggert was invited to take photos of both events.

Here is a flashback look at last year’s homecoming: Fresh Friday Nov. 18, 2005 Kelly Slater 7th World Title Homecoming

Below are photos from this year (2006) Kelly Slater Homecoming. He visited Ron Jon’s for an autograph session along with the surf contest and Halloween party. The surf was real small for the contest but the pros know how to make it look good!

Thanks Don Eggert for use of the photos! Don’s website for further information is here:
