Alberto Menegatti has well and truly shown the any of the critics out there that his results last year were no fluke. What’s more, his injury which kept him off the water for months and months during the winter period meant that his training hours were significantly reduced, this even caused us to keep him outside of our top 3 Boardseeker Favourites for this event. We know when our words should be eaten, and well, it might appear that we could be in for a pre-judgemental feast.

Check out our top moments of the day over the next few pages and congratulations to Alberto Menegatti and the other finalists.
