Tahitian surfer Michel Bourez bowed out in the third round of the season-ending Pipe Masters in Hawaii, to finish the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour in 12th place.

His best placed finish on tour was 2nd in Bali although he did win the Reef Hawaiian Pro Triple Crown event in November.

The Australian Mick Fanning has won his third tour title with a semi final finish in Hawaii.

He becomes the fifth man to claim three world titles, following in the footsteps of Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, Andy Irons and Mark Richards.
