QuikSilver & Roxy Pro Surfing 2015

Hi all

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:
