Irons wins the search again, this time its Bruce not Andy

Bruce Irons has been surfing so solid throughout this whole event, proving once again how dominant he is in barreling left reef breaks. With much being said about Bruce packing in the tour after this season, it is quite clear that it has nothing to do with his ability, but rather as he has said many times over; He can`t be bothered unless it is big and heavy conditions.

With Bruce being so far back in the ratings, and the top 5 contenders out early, this event while it was awesome as hell, will have little effect on the outcome of this years title race.

Well done Bruce, way to step out of big bro`s shadow!
