Quiksilver Pro Surfing, 2013, Snapper Rocks, Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Australia

Hi all

A few months ago I was lucky to be able to get to a fantastic day's ASP World Tour Surfing at the 2013 Quiksilver Pro, at Snapper Rocks on Australia's Gold Coast. Here are some pics from a very enjoyable day:

Jordy Smith


Tour Rookie Nat Young, who, from my humble perspective, was the best I saw from a talent vs experience viewpoint


Spectacular surfing by Aussie Taj Burrow


Jeremy Flores


Julian Wilson


(Reigning) 2012 World Surfing Champion, Australian Joel Parkinson


Michel Bourez


Wonderful tube / barrel action from Joel Parkinson


Matt Wilkinson on a nice wall of water


What better way to finish than with 11 times World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater who has just won the Volcom Pro in Fiji
