Wildcards rule Chopes contest

The Chopes event was taken by Brazilian wildcard Bruno Santos against another wildcard - local hellrider Manoa Drollet. Manoa Drollet making the final was not a real suprise - but just a Brazilian, who are not really known for their big wave skills, winning the prestigious event at the awesome tahitian hardcore break was not to be expected.
