TAHITI 2008 - Teahupoo

Hawaiian super freak Jamie O’Brien has added another prestigious title to his list of achievements by winning the Air Tahiti Nui – VonZipper Trials in HEAVING 6-8ft slabs at Teahupoo in Tahiti.

He defeated talented Brazilian goofy footer Bruno Santos in an epic final that saw the Hawaiian steal the lead in the dying minute with a perfect ten point ride.

He was the standout performer of the day, scoring two 10-point rides on the way to the final and a near perfect 19.93 out of 20.00 in his Quarter Final. Both O’Brien and Santos will be awarded wildcards into the Billabong Pro Tahiti main event which runs from the 8-18th May.
