Ian Walsh has claimed the 2015 HIC Pro, at Sunset Beach, on the Oahu’s North Shore, in Hawaii. The big wave charger from Maui clinched the second HIC Pro tile of his career, precisely ten years after his first victory. Walsh will also be awarded a wildcard into the Hawaiian Pro, the first jewel of the Triple Crown of surfing. The 32-year-old surfer defeated Billy Kemper, Kaito Kino, and Jack Robinson in the 30-minute final held in 12-to-15-foot surf. Walsh’s best ride was a 9.33 wave. And he opted for building his overall score early in the heat.
