Congratulations To Mick Fanning winner Moche Rip Curl Pro

Mick did what he had to do and clinched the victory.

When Medina lost, thanks to Brett Simpson killing it and Medina being a bit too confident on a marginal last wave and bailing out of the water with 2 minutes on the clock. Who knows what he was thinking, huge mistake. But Medina got lucky because Slater couldn't find a last wave and failed to advance.  Mick Fanning capitalized on Slater and Medina failing to make the quarters and won the event. It will be very interesting in Hawaii with 3 guys who could win it all.  Mick is in line for back to back titles. Kelly is there to prove he's still the best (like there is any doubt). And Gabriel is out to score his first title... which there seems like there will many more to come. Hopefully Pipe will produce some serious waves for the battle for it all. Don't forget about the ladies. We'll see if Sally Fitzgibbons can finally pull off a championship title. She sure could use a title about now.
