Andy takes it all !!

The final day of the
third leg and final stop of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing:
the Xbox Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters saw a reinforcement of a North swell
with 4 to 8 feet waves for the Back Door.
These guys have been tested on the lefts and today it was all about rights.
It was a show of deep barrels riding and speed.
 Andy Irons/Hawaii was crowned the 2002 Champion after the Sunset event and today,
winning Pipeline, he became the 2002 Pipeline Masters and Triple Crown Champion.
.

Shane Dorian/Hawaii had a lead in more than a half of the final, but ended in second
.

Kelly Slater/USA was the favorite, but he could not get good waves in the final
.
He even tried a Xbox game trick...

Mick Fanning/Australia was fourth
.

One of the best and only left which came through in the all day was caught by Luke Egan

Best brazilian finishing
Teco(Flavio) Padaratz, 9th place
