Joel with the number nine trophy. //Ellis

Joel last night finished eighth in the Surfer Poll awards, held for the first time at Turtle Bay on the North Shore of Oahu. In accepting his trophy, he quipped, “I suppose considering I was sitting on my arse on the lounge for half the year I’ve got to be happy with this, for sure.”

The night was dedicated to the late great Andy Irons, with a 10-minute tribute to AI [below] filling the room with cheers and tears.
