Gabriel Medina and Sally Fitzgibbons have taken out the 2021 Rip Curl Rottnest Search in Western Australia.
The fifth stop on the 2021 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT) concluded in four-to-six-foot waves at Rottnest Island.
Medina used his forehand power and rail-to-rail surfing skills to annihilate the firing left-handers pumping down the line at the famous Australian surf break.
The two-time world champion ended up defeating rookie Morgan Cibilic, who only caught two waves in the final. Rottnest Island was a new special place for me, and I loved it. We had great waves the whole time, and I was able to surf the way I want, expressed Gabriel Medina.
