XCEL PRO - FINAL

After an excellent day of surf at Supertubes, local favourite and 2009 winner Ryan Payne emerged victorious at the Xcel Pro Showdown At Supertubes 2010. Ryan was seeded into the second round of the event as a result of last years win, and charged all the way through to the final where he came up against Remi Peterson, and went to town on the perfect walls and barrels as only Supers can provide. Goofy-foot Remi put up a good fight on his backhand but it was Ryan who showed his skills to take his second victory in a row from the younger Peterson. Ryan scored a few good barrels on the set waves, and pulled off a massive grab-rail cutback that had the crowds assembled on the walkway cheering in support. Thanks very much to Xcel Wetsuits and to everyone involved in this contest, said Ryan on the beach afterwards with his first prize trophy in hand. Its definitely the best event I have ever surfed in, and it will be for the rest of my life. Ryan went on to dedicate the victory to his grandfather. For the win Ryan took home R5000 cash, a R5000 Nixon watch and a R5000 Xcel Wetsuit, as well as InFood vouchers and Von Zipper sunglasses.
