Last year's Volcom Fiji Pro was a great contest with many highlights: Gabriel Medina rode the wave that would later be deemed the Wave of the Year; CJ Hobgood grabbed his 'nads and gestured to the judges after beating Adriano in the Quarters; and Slater, as he so often does, dominated and took home the tropy.

So many great moments.

And yet the lasting memory, the take-it-to-your-grave recollection, of Fiji 2012 is undoubtedly when the contest was postponed mid-afternoon on Day 6 and that freesurf session happened. You know what I'm saying, you don't need to be reminded of the whys and wherefores, so without any further adieu here's the best of 2012.
