Gisborne's Bobby Hansen took home everything on the final day of the Rip Curl Pro at Manu Bay, Raglan, today.
Hansen won the open men's division, which included winning the invite to the Padang Cup in Indonesia and, in winning the event, also claimed the overall New Zealand Pro Series
for 2012.
The surf remained contestable on day two of the event with clean lines rolling down Manu Bay. However, north-easterly winds played havoc with the conditions making the surf almost impossible to surf at some stages of the day.
Hansen put his stamp on the final midway through the 25 minutes when he scored an 8.0 point ride for a series of tight backhand snaps. He then followed up that wave with a 7.50 point ride to leave his opponents requiring massive scores to catch up, a feat that would prove too difficult in the marginal conditions.
Blair Stewart, another Gisborne surfer, was second with local Mike Banks third and Maz Quinn fourth.
