The Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore hosted the 45th Annual Surfer Poll Awards Saturday night.
There were a lot of happy Hurley executives after John John Florence came in No. 1, ousting long time leader Kelly Slater.
Quiksilver also had reason to celebrate as Stephanie Gilmore, the reigning Women’s ASP Champion, came in first on the female side.
Lots of industry executives and retailers are in town for the Billabong Pipeline Masters and for the Surfer Poll, and we have some photos of those we saw during the night.
Here is a list of the winners. See the official Surfer Poll page for more photos from the evening.
