Hairil Anwar (Indonesia) finished runner-up at the ASP 4-Star Billabong Pro Tahara Japan and collected USD $7500 prizemoney and 750 points towards his ASP World Ranking.
The 30-minute battle saw Anwar jump out early lead, but Lau fought back and launched a big air, taking a 7.83 out of 10 for the ride and quickly found another ride to amass a 14.50 out of 20, which proved enough for the win. Anwar battled back at the end of the Final, but was unable to overtake Lau.
“This was such a great event and I’d like to thank Billabong and everyone in Japan for putting on the event,” Lau said. “I went to Japan once when I was little, but this is the first time I’ve been back and it was so nice.”
Thomas Woods (AUS) and Japanese talent Masotashi Ohno (JPN) were also standouts in the event and finished equal 3rd respecitively.
