Day three of the Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy followed a similar storyline to the previous rounds of competition as Joel Parkinson once again topped Adriano de Souza in their third straight final of the week. After competing on single fins and twin fins over the opening rounds, performance levels jumped today as the field reverted to more orthodox thrusters (tri-fin surfboards) before tearing into three-foot, highly rippable conditions at Sultans.
