Eight surfers were crowned winners of the inaugural Red Bull Cape Fear, at Botany Bay, Sydney, Australia. It was hailed as one of the most exciting surfing events of recent times. The Red Bull Cape Fear, brought to you by big wave surfer Mark Mathews, didn’t deliver monsters but there was no shortage of barrels or wipeouts. Eight one-on-one clashes were run in four-to-six foot sets over one of the world’s deadliest reefs. At Ours, Ryan Hipwood and Jamie O’Brien opened the hostilities with what was considered the best battle of the event.
