Chris Jones wins $1M in surfing contest
Midlands, UK — Chris Jones took first place in this year's annual Midlands, UK Pipe Contest. Jones took on major surfers like Kelly Slater, Billy Kemper, and Jadson Andre in three different pipe qualifying rounds. In each round, Jones placed first, setting the bar by shredding some serious tide and pulling off some incredible barrels.
The $1 Million prize was put together mostly by major sponsors to the event. The prize is surely enough to get by for a while on, but we don't see Jones leaving the water anytime soon.
Jones may be the next biggest thing to hit the tides. One thing is for sure, this is not the last time we will see Chris Jones.
