The Australian QS leg has now been completed with the Hurley Australian Open at Manly and the Surfest events at Newcastle.
Congratulations to Carissa Moore and Adriano de Souza on their wins at Manly and Matt Banting and Malia Manuel at Newcastle.
Andriano, after only three QS events has amassed 6,564 points so is well on his way to securing a spot for the WCT in 2015, not that he may need it as you would expect a very solid showing from the Brazilian on the WCT and the same with Carissa, currently sitting in third spot on 3,500 points.
Matt Banting, after his win in the Burton Toyota Pro over Nathan Hedge, has moved into second spot with 3,729 points closely followed by Nathan in third on 3,470 points.
