Who’d have thunk it? Dozza vanquishing Rasta and co. in a small wave, alternative surf craft contest, proving once again what a consummate and complete all-round surfer he is. Brad Gerlach, Harley Ingleby, Neco Padaratz and Sofía Mulánovich made up the rest of the field in this year’s Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy; but it was Shane Dorian and Dave Rastovich who made it through to the man-on-man final after excelling in the three different categories, the former winning the twin-fin and thruster divisions (highlights below), the latter the single-fin division. The final, held at Sultans, was a close fought affair, but Dorian ultimately triumphed by 0.44 (highlights above).
