Deivid Silva and Pauline Ado Win Quiksilver & Roxy Pro Casablanca

Deivid Silva and Pauline Ado Win Quiksilver & Roxy Pro Casablanca

Date: 2016-09-23
Anfaplace Shopping Center in Casablanca, Morocco, set the scene for Deivid Silva(BRAZIL), 21, and Pauline Ado(FRANCE), 25, to win the Quiksilver Pro Casablancaand Roxy Pro Casablancarespectively, in good three-to-five foot surf. Silva defeated form Frenchman Nelson Cloarec(FRA), 20, while the women's European title race culminated with the battle between Ado and good friend Justine Dupont(FRA), 25, in the women's final.

Silva opened his final with a decent score, a 6.5 collected on a lengthy left offering multiple but somewhat soft sections, but quickly started on a big and hollower set wave where he could really showcase his power turns for an excellent 8.67 and a strong hold on the heat lead.

Cloarec on the other hand struggled to find any substantial opportunity in the first half of the final, and finally managed to catch up midway through with a 6.40 on a smaller insider wave to exit the combination situation and keep a foot in the battle.

Silva claims a career-third Qualifying Series win in Morocco and further asserts in dominant form in 2016, as the young Brazilian sits within the series' Top10 and eyes a potential qualification for the Elite tour next season. The 1,500 points collected today may not improve Silva's rankings tally but the lethal goofy foot from Guaruja will certainly take a huge confidence boost from this victory and approach next week's QS10,000 event in Portugal with a winning mind frame.
