Rip Curl Super Series: Mick Campbell Wins, Back On Track; Qualifies for WCT
Young gun and 2006 Foster's ASP World Tour hopeful Ben Dunn (AUS) won the first heat of the morning, eliminated local favourite Jeremy Flores (FRA) in strong form at 9.30am. Flores was the WQS ratings leader coming into the event and knocked out Rip Curl Pro favourite Mick Fanning (AUS) in the round of 16 yesterday. Dunn's luck ran out in semi-final 1 though, losing to Kerr and earning =3rd place.
"I'm so stoked about this result and about beating Jeremy in the quarters," said Dunn. "I'm right on the edge of qualifying so to score this big result is awesome."
Semi-final 2 saw Campbell scrape past Dayyan Neve (AUS) to advance through to the final. Neve has had a great week and can take great confidence into the next WQS event in Portugal this week.
