| Amaury is the Turbo Pipe Pro Champ; Jerry gets 3rd 1 Amaury Laverhe REU 17.50 2 Diego Cabrera CNY 14.65 3 Jared Houston SAF 14.20 4 Damian King AUS 10.75 From the first horn it has been the Amaury Laverhne show - he's been on fire in the lead up and he's won the title in style --- going big and without doubt the best rider in the contest. Saving some of his best for last, he carded a perfect 10 points with a Pipe tube which he exited with a big backflip. King was out of sorts while Diego was surfing consistently. Jerry started late - launching a huge invert at backdoor, landing in the flats and not quite making it and carded a 6.2 for the efforts. He followed it up with a deep Pipe tube ride for 8.0. He's been dubbed the new kid in town and he lived up to the hype today. Well done Jerry! Proud of you. The prize purse is split as follows 1st - $5000, 2nd - $3100, 3rd - $2000, 4th - $1500 | 27/02/2010 04:33 |

Unfortunately the only wave of note which McCarthy bagged was a huge late take off which gets the water patrol interested.

| DK Final No results as of yet. Will have to wait for the release. Dubb looks like he got it but Alvarez had a sick Backdoor tube which scored 8 for. Spex, Kim Feast and Bud Miyamoto all got some good ones so it will be interesting to see what the judges made of it. We'll post results in the morning. | 25/02/2010 02:27 |
| DK Final coming up Pembrooke, Spex, Dubb, Feasty & Bud ... not sure on who the 6th rider is. | 25/02/2010 00:38 |
| Spex heat now on Looks to be killing this heat with some big snaps going forehand at Pipe. No results mentioned yet but looks a sure thing from what we saw. | 24/02/2010 20:53 |

It's going to be SICK!!! | 23/02/2010 16:47 |
| Round 6: Heat 8 - Spex dominates 1 Sacha Specker (SAF) 2 Christopher Kalima (HAW) 3 Tom Rigby (AUS) 4 Yusaku Kyotani (JPN) Specker's waves: #1 Pipe - stylish mid roll stall #2 Pipe - super clean ARS #3 Pipe - close out ARS #4 Backdoor - huge invert #5 Pipe - Roll, carve into forward spin in the pocket. Totally dominated and gets huge respect from the commentator. | 23/02/2010 04:08 |
| Round 6: Heat 7 - Ratt wins 1 Michael Ostler (SAF) 2 Alex Uranga (SPN) 3 Willy Pretrovic (HAW) 4 Tim Hamilton (HAW) Ratt wins his heat with a massive roll on a big close out. | 23/02/2010 04:01 |
| Round 6: Heat 6 - Bennett kills it 1 Sam Bennett (AUS) 2 Spencer Skipper (HAW) 3 Mark Watts (SAF) 4 Helliton Loureiro (BRZ) Watts misses out to Skipp. | 23/02/2010 03:59 |

| Round 6: Heat 3 1 Bud Miyamoto (HAW) 2 Tiago Silva (POR) 3 Stephen Stamm (BRZ) 4 Charles Pass (SAF) Charles Pass and Stephen Stamm go head to head in a hectic paddle battle. Pass is on the inside to go right, Stamm is on the inside to go left. Both don't give way and colide moments before the heavy Pipe bomb unload on their heads. Pass gets the interference as it was "more of a Pipe wave" is the word from the judges. | 23/02/2010 03:01 |
| Rising Swell hits the Turbo Pipe Pro Word from Pipe legend Mike Stewart is that we should be expecting 8-10 foot swell tomorrow. Follow live at http://www.fluidzone.com/pipe | 23/02/2010 03:00 |
| Round 6: Heat 2 - Jerry wins with double barrel 1 Jared Houston (SAF) 2 Jeremy Loefstok (ARU) 3 Sylvain Langlet (FRA) 4 Luis Pereira (POR) Loefstok was killing it but Jerry comes up with the winner, a double barrel at Backdoor and finish off with a roll. | 23/02/2010 02:25 |
| Round 5: Heat 8 - Spex owns this one Spex makes sure of this one. Starting off early with a small Backdoor wave which he inverts then picks off a couple good Pipe waves and gets some good tube rides, small little reverse floater on his first. 1 Sacha Specker (SAF) 2 Willy Petrovic (HAW) | 23/02/2010 01:58 |
| Round 5: Heat 7 - Ratt bags it Michael "Ratt" Ostler seeded through to this round bags his heat with some good tube riding. Unfortunate not to make it out of a Backdoor screamer. | 23/02/2010 01:53 |
| Round 5: Heat 4 - Charles Pass gets 2nd Charles Pass is through in second with a crazy backdoor bomb --- 9's all round for a deep tube and ends off with a roll. | 23/02/2010 01:46 |
| Round 4: Heat 8 - High drama from Spex Closer than SA's one run loss to India - with no decent waves under his belt and with the clock winding down, Spex tries to go left but is interfered so he turns right and is interfered on by a second rider. Still no scoring rides. With 3 mins left he gets a backdoor ride and boosts a good ARS and somehow finds another backdoor one and rolls it. 1 Sacha Specker (SAF) 2 Christopher Kalima (HAW) 3/4 Alberto Colucci (VNZ)/ Julien Miremont (FRA) | 23/02/2010 01:37 |
