Body Glove Entertainment filmers stood on the beach all three days of the epic 2011 Pipeline Masters and witnessed some amazing waves and rides. They also captured some great wipeouts reminding all of us... you gotta pay to play.
Yesterday, seventeen-year-old Australian Matt Banting won the Australian Open of Surfing for the second time.
With a flurry of fin-wafts and aerial variations, Banting was able to trump the entire field of both the pro junior and 6-star open men's divisions.
Florida's Evan Geiselman came within a hair of taking the men's title from Banting in a hotly contested final. In the end, Geiselman's 15.83 was bested by Banting's 16.83.
Banting's double-victory..
