Last week I was lucky to have two opportunities to visit the 2015 Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro surfing, on the Wolrd Suf League tour, at Snapper Rocks, Coolanagatta, Gold Coast, Qld, AUS. The Quiksilver Pro was won by Brazilian teenager Filipe Toledo (sending the Brazlian fans into overdrive) and the Roxy Pro was won by Hawaiian Carissa Moore. Some pics:

Thanks for getting this far with me. Please note there are two separate photo galleries:
The first 2015 Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro surfing gallery covers a brief Wednesday visit and then all of the morning surfing on the final day.
The second newer gallery: This is a new gallery covering the following matchups on the final afternoon of the competition: Miguel Pupo v Juilan Wilson, Adriano de Souza v Filipe Toledo, Carissa Moore v Stephanie Gilmore (Roxy Final), and Julian Wilson v Filipe Toledo (Quiksilver Final).
Thanks for looking!
