Matt Wilkinson wins Quiksilver Saquarema Prime

Matt Wilkinson has won the Quiksilver Saquarema Prime event in Brazils best left hand point break taking down last years winner Kai Otton in an all Australian final. Wilko scored the highest heat total of the event, 18.43 with some amazing new school surfing on the high performance 3-5 foot left hand point break. Matt Wilkinson was all smiles as he took home the winners cheque of $40 000 and of coarse the all important 6500 point towards the World Ratings.
South African surfers Travis Logie, Royden Bryson, Shaun Joubert and Dale Staples all lost out in Round of 96 and will nave have to work especially hard in the next ASP World Tour Prime in their home waters, The Mr. Price Pro Ballito.
 
The Mr. Price Pro kicks off on July 2 until July 8 and promises to be the best Prime on tour once again with surfers such as Jordy Smith, Adriano de Souza and Kalohe Andino already entered. Entries for the event close on 5 June.
