The final eight surfers have been decided after an incredible day of groundbreaking performances at the 2019 So Sri Lanka ProQS3,000. Competitors from all corners of the globe raised the bar but it was 2012 World Champion Joel Parkinson’s little cousin Mitch that stole the show.h

The teenage natural footer posted a solid heat total of 15.37 for a strong show of front side power surfing.

“The waves are pumping out there and it’s so much fun,” Butler said. “We don’t have many long right-hand point beaks like this back at home so I was just making the most out of it, getting lots of waves while no one is out. This is going to be my best result in a QS event so I’m over the moon. I just need to keep it going into Finals Day and see if I can go all the way.”
