Glen ‘Micro’ Hall wins Mr Price Pro, Ballito

Posted 09 Jul 2012, by STABmag

Aus-turned-Irishman Glen ‘Micro’ Hall just won the Mr Price Pro in Ballito, South Africa. He beat Nathaniel Curran in the final after toasting Nat Young and Jack Freestone in the semis and quarters. Winning a contest feels good, but winning a contest and qualifying for the WT feels even better. And though it ain’t over til it’s over, Micro’s now sitting at number 16th on the world rankings, so… yup. Micro’s gameplan for South Africa totally worked out! “I’m not doing JBay and I’m proud of my choice,” he said of the now-six star event. “I came here and put all eggs into one basket because if you are here to qualify its about the Primes. That’s my focus so I’m taking it to the next event in America.” Props to the man.

Most of us whiteys in oz are pretty much irish. An when multiculturalism reaches its awesome crescendo we’ll all be claiming it instead of Australian- kind of like the yanks do.. bit of a shame. Anyhoo. fidldeedee peteartes
