Taj wins again

Taj Burrow has just won the Breaka Pro in small but fun looking waves at Burleigh. A couple of linked rides puncuated with a big spinning air give him to mid sevens and the lead for most of the contest.

Parko came second mainly due to a typical Parko wave full of big smooth moves and a little spin. Bede Durbridge started strong but couldn't get the bigger scores and would be a little annoyed that Parko snuck past him at the end. Jayke Sharpe couldn't get any decent waves.

This the second year in a row that Taj has started the Aussie leg with a win in this event. Last year he backed it up with first in the Quikie Pro. He has to be considered a threat for the world title again this year if the judging finally goes for him.

The Flores/Garcia incident has made the mainstream news, thanks to some pretty ugly looking video. It now seems that a local got into a blue with Sunny's 16 year old son and wore a pretty bad beating for his stupidity.
