Barger beat Jadson Andre of Brazil in the final, after having defeated Marc Lacomare of France in the semis and Australia's Matt Wilkinson in the quarters at North Narrabeen..
Barger belongs to a group of young surfers from the Valley Isle that also includes Dusty Payne and Granger Larsen -- both of Lahaina – that are making their mark at the international level of the sport.
