Mick Fanning has been crowned the 2009 ASP World Champion following a dramatic day at Pipeline.

Heading into the final stop Fanning held the ratings lead over Joel Parkinson. Unfortunately Parkinson's charge came to an end in Round 3 at the hands of wildcard Gavin Gillette and Fanning secured his second ASP World Title.

"I'm just a bit overwhelmed right now and I don't quite know what to say," Fanning said. "It was hard out there. I was trying to get ready for my heat and then Gavin (Gillette) got that one score as I was paddling out and, I don't know, I just sort of slowed down."

The 2009 ASP World Tour season will go down in history as one of the most dramatic, with Parkinson winning three of the first five events before Fanning rallied in the latter half of the season to overtake his good friend.

"I knew I was surfing well," Fanning said. "It was just a matter of getting that result. I knew it was going to turn around sooner or later. I don't know, it's weird the way the world works."

Fanning was in the water with Parkinson (in between heats) as the scene unfolded. The two lifelong friends embraced, exchanged words and paddled in separate directions.

"We just sort of sat there and hugged and chatted about what's happened over the last few days and how nervous we both were," Fanning said. "It was hard to watch what happened to him this year. He had such a stranglehold on the tour and then he had that ankle injury, so as a friend it was hard to watch that. If I wasn't in the race I would have been gunning for Joel for sure."

The Pipe Masters action continues, most probably on Monday or Tuesday at 6pm UK time. So far it has been epic with cutting edge webcasting from Fuel TV so make sure you check it out!
