Am Sonntag war es dann ednlich soweit – Michel Bourez gewinnt den Reef Hawaiian Pro 2013.
Im Finale konnte sich der Tahitianer trotz Heimvorteil von Fred Patacchia durchsetzen und über die $40,000 Preisgeld freuen. Viel wichtiger ist ihm jedoch der Sieg und somit die Führung bei der Vans Triple Crown of Surfing 2013.
“It’ still a new feeling, the first time I won it, I was super happy for making the tour and this time, you know, I worked so hard to make the final and especially to lead the Triple Crown and it’s a good feeling. They keep saying the guy who wins the Haleiwa contest has a lot of chance to win a Triple Crown. I feel great, I feel good in my body and my boards are going well and, hopefully the waves will be good at Sunset. I got second two there years ago so I hope I make another final this year. Coming here, I felt great. I’ve been training for the past month, and just to come here solid, I feel like yeah, I deserve it.“ so Michel.
Der Franzose Jeremy Flores wurde verdient Dritter vor dem Australier Dion Atkinson.
