Tonga's Burling wins Longboard Pro event

Tonga's Michael Burling (22) had a convincing win in the Hyundai Longboard Pro competition, which was held 13-14 May at Makarori Beach in Gisborne. Surf for the two-day event was ideal with swell in the 11.5 metre range, clear sunny weather and light offshore winds grooming the waves to perfection.
