Team Hawaii, comprised of Andy Irons and Fred Patacchia overcame Team Australia – Bede Durbidge and Dean Morrison – in the final to pocket the US$4000 prize. Currently sitting in last place on the Foster's Surf Showdown ratings, Hawaii has a lot of ground to make up if they want to win the platinum keg on offer at the end of the year.
"We're counting on the back half, we're going to come back strong," Irons said.
