Mick Fanning defeats Bede Durbidge to win 2009 Quiksilver Pro France
Mick Fanning (AUS), 28, claimed his second consecutive ASP Dream Tour event taking out the 2009 Quiksilver Pro France presented by Orange over fellow finalist Bede Durbidge (AUS), 26, in punchy one-to-three foot, 0,5 - 1 meter, waves ar Les Bourdaines.
Event no.7 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Quiksivler Pro France opted to utilize today's swell to complete the event given the dismal surf forecast for the remainder of the waiting period. Despite today's challenging conditions, the world's best surfers executed well, blending their rapid-fired approach with progressive fin-free and aerial surfing.
The hunt of the 2009 ASP World Title has become even more intresting with the early elimination of frontrunner Parkinson and the win from Fanning. They'll battle other top seeds C.J. Hobgood (USA), Durbidge and Slater as the ASP Dream Tour continues the European leg.
