Brucie Wins The Rip Curl Search

by The Editors on August 4, 2008

Bilde-3If he was planning on waiting for his first win on the ASP WCT Tour Kaua’i’s Bruce Irons couldn’t have chosen a better event as he edged Fred Patacchia, Jr. in the finals.

One of my goals when I joined the tour was to win an event and I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen since I’ll be stepping away after this season,” Irons said. “But the waves pumped this event. This is what the Dream Tour should be like all the time. I’m definitely stepping away from the ASP Tour at the end of this year, but I’m not retiring. I’m still planning on competing at Pipeline and Teahupoo and at venues that I can get into.”

Funny how different the results look when contests are held at new spots. For the record: Kelly Slater went out in the third round, but it still in the lead. Looks like Trestles is going to be a fun one.
