Vonzipper teamrider Taj Burrow (AUS) heeft gisteren de laatste wedstrijd van de ASP Worldtour op zijn naam gezet. In de finale wist hij van 9-voudig wereldkampioen Kelly Slater te winnen met een paar cleane aerials.  De 31-jarige surfer is stoked met de winst, Pipeline is tenslotte één van de meest legendarische surfspots

“This win feels about as good as you could imagine,” Burrow said. “For me, winning this contest is the next best thing to winning a World Title. This is the one and only event that everyone would probably pick to win and I can’t believe I’m standing here right now. It’s an amazing feeling. There are so many tough guys that you go up against in this event that I thought it was out of my reach. This is the best victory of my career.”
