Top 3 were Adam Dalorme, Colby West and Jossi Wells.

From fsanz website:

"Adam Delorme (USA) stole the show with huge double front flips with a switch 1080 over the massive 60ft kicker combined with good clean rails. Colby West (USA) took second place spinning all his rails switch followed by a switch 720 to a switch 1080 on the kickers. Jossi Wells was the highest place New Zealander in third spinning 900 to 1080 on the kicker. On the bottom rail he attempted a misty flip (front flip with a 180 spin) not quite pulling it off but when he tried it again after the competition he landed it perfectly which was the first time this extremely difficult and highly technical trick had been seen in competition."

so yea.. pretty average competition
