Donegan won each of his seven heats surfed this week. In the grand finale, Dylan scored an 8.17 for a combo of manoeuvres that was backed up by a 7.13 for a heat total of 15.30. A score that carried him to glory.

After collecting the award, Donegan stated “I’m very, very happy. It feels amazing. Even qualifying for the Spanish team is very, very difficult. I haven’t thought about it yet, I guess I’ll just have to do it and enjoy the moment and when I realize it, I’ll probably go crazy.”.
