Tavarua Island, Fiji (Thursday, June 1, 2000). Australian Luke Egan today became the first surfer to win two Quiksilver Pro titles when he defeated Brazilian Guilherme Herdy in their 35-minute final out at Cloudbreak 19.15 to 18.00-points. The victory was his second World Championship Tour (WCT) win of 14 years, after claiming his first back in 1997 during the Quiksilver Pro G-Land (Java, Indonesia), before the event was forced to move locations.
"It doesn't get much better," laughed Egan as he boarded the marshaling boat victorious. "Having your two best mates sitting there with you (referring to Australians Matt Hoy and Mark Occhilupo, who were first to congratulate him in the water). "Yeah, there's something good about this. Fiji Bitter (he joked as a local beer was handed to him mid-quote). I'm actually stoked to be the only guy to ever win this event twice and I've won it in two different spots. I feel good about that. I've been trying really hard and have made a lot of sacrifices".
