BILLABONG WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

Brazilian surfer PABLO PAULINO has matched JOEL PARKINSON as the only surfer two win duel Billabong ASP World Junior Championships.

The powerful goofy footer dominated the final day of play in epic 2m tubing waves at North Narrabeen Beach in Sydney after five of Australia's top surfers suffered a complete meltdown.

The 20-year-old won this event in similar conditions three years ago, and today defeated breakthrough Hawaiian TONINO BENSON in scintillating form. Notching up an 8.50 on his first ride to take an early lead, the fast surfing South American didn't stop there, posting a 6.50 to leave his opponent requiring a perfect 10-point score to steal victory.

While BENSON was more than capable of the score, having bagged a perfect 10 earlier in the day he couldn't replicate the feat in the dying stages of the final.

Australia's next batch of surfing champions suffered yet another melt down in round four and at the Quarter Final stage with not one surfer progressing through to the semi's.

Culburra's OWEN WRIGHT, Copacabana's BEAU ATCHISON and Maroochydore's MITCHEL COLEBORN all lost out in the Quarter's while the highly touted JULIAN WILSON (Coolum) and Coffs surfer JAYKE SHARP went down in round four.

Both WILSON and COLEBORN lost out to eventual champion PAULINO
