From the IBA:

The final (between Yeray Martinez and GT) was held in fun glassy 2-footers with the clouds parting and the surf surging just in time for a 30 minute clash between the two most consistent riders of the four-day event.

In the final Tamega netted a nine pointer and backed it up with a 6.9 to leave Yeray chasing a 7.5

“I am stoked to have a start like this” said Tamega. “I always wanted the winners hat and now I have one.”

Overall the Sopelana BBK Pro was a fun event and the perfect start to the IBA’s e3x Euro leg.

The crew now roll into Portugal for the Sintra Portugal Pro that starts on Tuesday.

Here are the results of the Aussies:
Hardy lost to PLC in Round 5.
BP lost to Tamega in Round 5.
Dallas lost to Yeray in Round 5.
Winny lost to Rui Ferreira in Round 5.

Hughesy, Jones, Kingy, Novy and Rigby lost in Round 4 and Stoney and Woodland were knocked-out in Round 3.
