Davey Weare Wins Again On Bilt Surfboards.
Durban - After a brilliant week of surfing and dominating, Davey Weare convincingly won the Quiksilver Pro Durban at Ansteys on The Bluff. In the final against American surfer Austin Ware, Davey turned on the heat and left his competitor in the dust, so to speak, with a controlled display of radical surfing, big airs, barrel-rides and reverses. It was case of completely out-classing his competition, and Dave looked supremely confident on his new sticks.
"I got these new Bilt boards that Elton Fursman made for me, and I'm so confident with them. It feels like a load of work has already been done before I hit the water," said Dave of his new quiver. "I surfed two boards for this event, the smaller one for the waves at New Pier during the week, and a slightly bigger one for the waves at Ansteys," continued Weare. "They both fitted well into the curves of the waves at New Pier and Ansteys. They both flew and felt like 'magic' boards. So stoked!"
Davey has been on a winning streak since he joined Bilt, winning the O'Neill Scottburg Open, getting a close second at the recent Volcom event at New Pier, and now victory at the Quiksilver Pro Durban Six Star Prime. US$15,000 and 3000 valuable points came Davey's way after the win, a great, bankable pile of points on his way to qualifying for the 2009 World Tour. Dave is currently competing in the six star prime O'Neill Highland Open Six Star Prime WQS event in Scotland, where he hopes to bank another good result.
Dave's new 6'1 and 6'0 boards are paramount in his current roll. "I finally have my boards where I want them," said Dave of his equipment, "I'm also stoked that my boards worked so well when the waves got a bit of juice at Ansteys."
Davey had local boy support throughout the event, and was quick to point out that this really helped him on his route to victory, along with his training, diet and equipment program that has come together. "I've been putting in the effort, and it is paying off. I now feel confident and relaxed, and that feels great."
