Joel PARKINSON (AUS) (Yellow t-shirt while surfing, dark hair) confirmed his position of surfer number one in the ASP World tour winning the Bells Beach appointment with two amazing waves!
His second wave gave him a score of 7.83 and he crowned the final with his third wave, surfing a big wave, with some excellent turns for a score of 9.57.
His opponent in this final was the wildcard Adam ROBERTSON (AUS) (Blue t-shirt while surfing curly blonde hairs) who surfed his way from the trials qualification to the final, in fact he's not in the 45 best surfer of the ASP World Tour. He's the hero of the locals and had an incredible support in the beach with all his family around him! He surfed his best waves in 6.50 and 6.87.
