Kelly Slater Invitational - 'Lets See It!'

Earlier today, celebrities Perry Farrell (musician - 'Jane's Addiction'), Nick Lachey (MTV - 'Newlyweds'), Marissa Miller (Sports Illustrated swimsuit model), Chris Klein (actor - 'American Pie'), Jackson Browne (musician), Lance Bass (singer - *NSYNC), Tony Hawk (Pro Skateboarder), and G-Love (musician) took part in a different kind of surfing spectacle. Teaming up with professionals at 'Restaurants' - arguably the world's most perfect, yet ridiculously shallow reef break - for what proved one of the funniest, as well as enjoyable contest sessions ever.

The packed lineup was all smiles, as celebrities were either pushed into some of their first rides, or the more experienced and confident surfers caught some fun waves.

Perry Farrell and pro teammate Mark Occhilupo (AUS) snatched victory with a long tandem ride, while Marissa Miller was a close second after turning the tables on two-time world champion Tom Carroll (AUS), by successfully dropping in on the master of such actions.

'I was so excited,' said Miller. 'I've got to thank Doug (Silva) for pushing me into all the waves. It was so much fun.'

Last night, following yesterday's amazing surfing performances, an impromptu jam session featuring many of the world's best musicians, as well as surfers, blew everyone away. The all-star lineup including Jackson Browne, Perry Ferrell, Nick Lachey, G-Love, and world champion surfers Tom Curren and Mark Occhilupo, as well as Slater, turned Tavarua Island into the place to be. Joined by Island boatmen Micah and Tommy, the freshly assembled band mates rocked the awe-struck audience for hours, under a star-lit sky on the main deck of the resort.

'There's been some dream stuff take place here, but honestly, the surfing talent and musical talent on this Island... There's no better place to be right now.' Stated Tavarua Island's managing director Jon Roseman.
