Brooks, the 19-year-old Canadian surfing sensation, won the Trestles Pro for her third straight world tour event, cementing a dominant run after earlier big wins in Tahiti and Fiji and beating world No. 1 Gabriela Bryan in the final. In the men's event, Brazil’s Miguel Pupo edged Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi to claim his second win of the year, pulling ahead late with an 8.5 on a key wave and a 14.77 total, as the tour heads into a two-event post-season before the season finale at Pipeline in December.
