Second time winner in Tahiti by Howard Swanwick

02/05/2007:// Tahitian surfer Manoa Drollet has defeated Australian Anthony Walsh to win the Air Tahiti Nui Von Zipper Trials for the second time at Teahupoo.

In thundering 4m surf it was a day of perfect 10-point rides and terrifying wipe-outs as eight surfers battled it out for the two wildcards on offer into the Billabong Pro Tahiti main event that begins on May 4.

Both surfers have been awarded wildcards into the main event.

Drollet will match up against reigning world champion Kelly Slater in round one alongside Australian Phillip MacDonald. Walsh will come up against current world number one Mick Fanning (Aus) and Raoni Monteiro (Brazil).
