Da bleibt einem doch nichts mehr zu sagen als ein dickes fettes GRATULIERE. Denn Taj Burrow hat sich den Sieg des Hurley Pro 2013 in Trestles hart erkämpfen müssen. Julian Wilson schenkte dem 35 Jahre alten Australier nichts und so war es ein wirklich spannendes und knappes Finale.

“I couldn’t be happier. I really put so much effort in to this event and it just feels so incredible when it unfolds and goes your way. I felt like the good waves came my way and I was just in the zone. I was hoping to get things snowballing and I never felt like I put together my best surfing. I was just finding my feet more and more each heat. My board kept getting better and better and it felt great towards the end. That’s how you want to win an event, peak at the right time. I knew Julian (Wilson) would be tough. Even if I saw a wedged out close out I would have taken it if I had priority because I know what he can do. I surfed as smart as I possibly could. I thought I made a couple of errors, but they ended up playing out.” so Taj nach dem Sieg.

Durch den 13. Platz in Trestles wurde Kelly Slater von der Rangliste von Mick Fanning abgelöst.
