Surf Report

Date: 2016-10-21
Keanu Asing from Hawaii and Carissa Moore, also form Hawaii, claimed victory, winning the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro France respectively.

Stop number nine on the Samsung Galaxy World Surf League Championship Tour came to a thrilling conclusion and also sawTyler Wright of Australia, 22, claimthe 2016 WSLWomen's Title, after her closest rival Courtney Conlogue from the USA, 24, was eliminated in the Semi-finals.

An elite tour competitor since 2011, Wright's clinching of her maiden world surfing crown came after an emotional year with her family and four elite Championship Tour wins this season.

The Final of the Roxy Pro France saw Moore take on newly crowned World Champion Wright. Moore, who has stood out throughout the entire event, wasted no time to post an authoritative 7.33 to take an early lead and fired again with a near-perfect 9.03 to put the Australian in a combination situation. With time winding down, Wright was not able to turn in the scores to defeat Moore.

The win today for three-time WSL Champion Moore is her first ever Championship Tour victory in France and her first of the 2016 season. Moore remains in third place on the Jeep Leaderboard heading into the final event of the year in Maui. "A lot has gone into this, a lot of hours and a lot of moments," said Wright.

On the men's side Keanu Asing took down defending event winner and 2014 WSL Champion Gabriel Medina of Brazil in the Quiksilver Pro France Final to claim his maiden Championship Tour win and leap up thirteen places to 21st on the Jeep Leaderboard.

The next stop on the 2016 Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour for the men will be the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal from October 18 - 29, 2016 while the women will culminate their season with the Maui Women's Pro from November 23 - December 5, 2016.
