Ideal to get inspired before the trip… Due to the event being a full house, we had to dodge the security to make it to the beach on time for the semi finals. K.Slater lost to Mick Fannings. Parko did well but not enough to make to the finals.

Sally Fitzgibbons claimed victory over Stephanie Gilmore, whilst we were surfing winkipop in 5ft off-shore conditions.
