Summary Australia's Kieren Perrow won his first Pipe Masters title in Hawaii.
Perrow, 19, topped fellow Aussie Joel Parkinson 13.17-7.00 in the final heat Saturday, which included surf that had settled down to 4-6 feet from the bigger conditions seen during the earlier rounds.I felt so comfortable the whole time, Perrow said. The waves have been phenomenal. I havent surfed Pipe like that in my entire career.The win was particularly satisfying for Perrow because he finished second in last year Pipe Masters. It took me up until now to get over getting second last year Perrow said. Its so good to get back here.Perrow made the finals by beating Brazils Gabriel Medina in the quarterfinals and Michel Bourez of French Polynesia. Parkinson narrowly beat American Kelly Slater in their semi-final heat.
