"It feels really good, this is something i have wanted to do since I first got on the tour eight years ago. It's good to set a goal and achieve it" said Dave. Competitively Dave found that this year was one of the hardest years ever competing on the Australasian Tour, which has made the win even more sweeter. "This year was extremely competitive with a lot of big names coming back to the tour, guys like Mitch Rawlins, Brad Hughes, Michael Novy, Ryan Hardy, Chad Jackson and then young up and comers like Joe Clark and Dave Crowley, all these guys made every comp this year a tough one, there were never any easy heats". said Dave. Dave will now take a well earned rest, before getting married to his fiance in three weeks. In 2009 Dave is looking forward to competing both on the world circuit as well as the Australasian Pro Tour.

Glen was narrowly defeated for the title last year and was extremely focused this year to claim the prize. "It is pretty amazing, as I came second last year behind my friend Justin Welsh, winning the tour this year was my number one focus, so it's really rewarding to achieve the goal I'd been working on all year" said Glen. "For the rest of the year the plan is to chase as many waves as I can around Australia, then I'm off to Hawaii in January, where I will be getting ready for the Pipeline Pro in February"
