MARGARET RIVER, Western Australia/Australia (Saturday, March 20, 2010) Josh Kerr claimed an incredible come-from-behind victory at the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) PRIME Rated Drug Aware Pro at Margaret River. Kerr defeated the home town hero Taj Burrow in front of the largest crowd ever seen at Margaret River estimated at 7000. Burrow appeared to have a stranglehold on the Final when he opened with an excellent 8.5 ride and shortly after backed that up with another excellent 8 point ride leaving Kerr requiring a combination
of two scoring rides to win. In the final five minutes, Kerr caught two waves and unleashed three highest degree difficulty aerial moves, landed them all and scored a perfect 10 point ride followed by a 7.03 to turn the final around and take the win.

I thought it was well and truly over and I even said to Taj out in the water that he’d won and how amazing it was for him to win four events in a row! said an ecstatic Kerr after the final. I said I’m going in on this wave and as I rode the wave I thought I’d try and put on a show for the crowd and pull a big airI landed it, saw another section and landed again and all of a sudden I have a perfect 10 point ride and I’m in with a chance!
I grabbed another smaller one on the way back out, knew that on a smaller wave I’d have to again go big with an aerial and I landed again!
It all happened so fast that I’m still shocked It’s easily the biggest win of my career and I can’t believe it.
