It only took three incredible days of pumping swell to crown the 2018 #ROXYpro Gold Coast champion! Californian, Lakey Peterson, claimed the title over local hope, Keely Andrew, after an exciting day of finals action that saw the event run at Kirra Point (for the first time in five years) under the intense Australian sun.

We thought the posts from the fans were too good not to share, so here’s today’s highlights, brought to you by… well you. Enjoy! Until next year.

 

Nice one @lakeypeterson @roxy

The Gold Coast Wave Project No. 74.1 - 15 March 2016... ARGH the #QuikPro and #RoxyPro finals going off at Kirra (which hardly ever happens... 2nd time in the 11 years we’ve been on the Coast) and I’m in Auckland... oh well, gotta pay the bills Kirra on fire 3 weeks ago during Cyclone Gita
