PAULO BARCELLOS - 2008 PIPELINE CHAMPION!



What a crazy final day of the IBA Pipeline Pro!!...

Unfortunately in Day 2, we saw many of the Brazilians knocked out only just in the last minutes of their heats.
But we still had the Uzmi boys who are in the top 32 to come.

Magno unfortunately didnt have luck on his side in his heat.
He surfed well but unfortunately the waves just did not come.

Luis went through towards the semis but was Eliminated.

We saw GT go through to the semis but was also knocked out

This left 2 Brazilians, Paulo Barcellos and Uri Valadao to complete the job.

They both went through to the final along side defending Pipe Champ Jeff Hubbard and Hugo Pinero of Portugal.

Paulo came through with Victory with a HUGE score of 9.25 on his main wave...

HE KICKED ASS!!..
He always said to me, watch me i am going to dominate Pipeline!!.. the 34yr old still has it in him to do so!!!

WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO CONGRATULATE PAULO ON AN EXCEPTIONAL EFFORT AT PIPELINE.

UZMI ILLUMINADED!!
