Conditions may not have been perfect for the WRV Outer Banks Pro Surf competition at Jennette’s Pier, but surfers put on a great show. Competition was tight up to the last round, as the World Surf League reports in their wrap up.
“In a thrilling showcase of last-minute heat wins and excellent scores, Asher Nolan (USA) claimed the 2015 WRV Outer Banks Pro presented by Hurley and Pacifico. Starting from Round 1 and not dropping a single heat en route to victory, Nolan’s backside attack was unwavering and could not be stopped. Taking down good friend and another surfer who was in-form the whole event, Brian Toth (PRI), Nolan thoroughly enjoyed the showdown.
“This is my third win at the Outer Banks and it’s just been amazing to me,” Nolan said. “All my scores had been coming on my backside but when I saw that left start to open up I just went on it — haven’t really been getting the scores on my forehand so I was stoked to get the seven on it. In the end I saw Brian get a wave but then I got one more that put the nail in the coffin right in front of him at the pier.”
