<p>More than 2,000 spectators turned out on Saturday 19th September to see the world’s first ever stadium-style surfing event, Red Bull Unleashed. <br /> <br /><br /> <br />It was a surprisingly scorching afternoon in North Wales as the final eight riders went head-to-head at Surf Snowdonia’s artificial wave pool. In the end it was crowd favourite Albee Layer (HAW) who became the first ever Red Bull Unleashed champion, after a string of spectacular displays carried him to victory over the plucky Billy Stairmand (NZL).<br /> <br /><br /> <br />The competition was able to bring the crowd closer to the action than has ever been seen before, paving the way for a new era in competitive surfing. The athletes and spectators revelled in the unique man-on-man duel concept, which saw pairs of surfers go head to head, wave for wave, in a best of five format.<br /> <br />© Red Bull Media House<br /> <br /><br /> <br />****************************************************<br /> <br />► Abonnieren/subscribe: http://goo.gl/8XgSFa</a><br /> <br />► Facebook: http://goo.gl/plspsr</a><br /> <br />****************************************************</p>
