Blair Stewart has finished a highly credible 13th place at the Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials in Tahiti today. The event is the precursor to the Billabong Pro at Teahupoo - the heaviest wave in the world. Blair progressed through three rounds to place amongst what many regard as the top 16 barrel riders in the world.
Blair's run in the trials came to an end when he placed fourth in his heat against Anthony Walsh (AUS), Laurie Towner (AUS) and Hank Gaskell (HAW).
Earlier in the day Blair placed second in his third round heat defeating two local Tahitian surfers.
Tahitian surfer Taumata Puhetini went on to win the trial and gain a place in the Billabong Pro main event.
