Overall the Comp was all time. Using up from the first to the last possible day and in a number of conditions, it put every surfer to test.
From round three it was obvious that whoever made it in the semi finals between Parko and Mick would take the event. They both were in a whole different level to everyone else at their home spot.
It turned out that it picked up and got stormy so the arena was taken to none less than Kirra for the last day!
In 6 to 8 feet grinders they had the best heat I've ever witnessed. Spewing it was raining bucked and I couldn't take any photos. But there was specialized media for that anyway, It's worth checking out the latest Tracks issue to see Parko's insane kegs.
After exchanging massive scores Joel claimed it with a nearly perfect 19.93.
Making Brazil look great, Adriano made his first final ever, he was on fire all through it and beat heaps of rippers, only being stopped in the final by Joel Parkinson. It takes local knowledge to negotiate those stormy conditions.
That was the best Quicky pro ever, hands down.
