Tamega takes it all !!!

Guilherme Tamega, mega champ from Brazil wins
the Mike Stewart Pipeline Pro today and became
the Super Tour and Qualifying Tour champion.
He took it all...

Much smaller & maneuverable than it was yesterday.
It was all about to launch the highest aerial maneuvers.
3 to 5 feet a little windy but, still good conditions.
