Rip Curl Pro Portugal Day 4 - Finals
In a nail-biting forty minute affair, Julian Wilson squeaked past Gabriel Medina in the dying moments of the Final to claim the Rip Curl Pro Portugal crown and his first World Tour win. Julian has now increased from No. 12 to No. 6 on the ASP WCT rankings, whilst Gabriel has moved up from 9th to 8th. Meanwhile, Joel Parkinson has solidified his frontrunner status on the ASP WCT rankings, thanks to his Semi-Final positioning (3rd) and the unexpected elimination of Kelly Slater in Round 3 and Mick Fanning in Round 5. Here's a wrap up of the Final day images from ASP photographers Kelly Cestari and Kirstin Scholtz.
