WITH brilliant form that repeatedly defied comprehension, Aussie power nugget Trent Munro blew all contenders from the Woolamai Beach waves to win today’s final of the Rip Curl Pro. Before taking reigning world champion Andy Irons in the 35-minute final, Munro was like a steaming locomotive, racking up nine point rides right throughout the day to end up with not only the revered Bells trophy, but the best wave score and aggregate heat score of the event.
Racing time and tide, the swell beleaguered Rip Curl Pro finally got to its final day on Phillip Island today after having to be transferred from the famous Bells Beach late last Monday, after a week of the waiting period had produced no swell behind that sufficient to finish the parallel SPC Fruit Pro women’s event.
