Evan's above-the-lip bag of tricks was no match for 143 of the 144 surfers at the ASP 6-Star event held at Manly Beach. Evan felt right at home in the small, New-Smyrna-like waves and ended up finishing in an impressive 2nd place spot behind Australian, Matt Banting — who also won the Pro Junior division. With the result, Evan has moved up to #12 in the ASP World Rankings — a great start to his 2012 qualification campaign! Watch the Australian Open final day highlights here. Photo: ASP/Robertson
