Courtney Conlogue Wins Women's Pro Bells beach

Courtney Conlogue Wins Women's Pro Bells beach

Date: 2017-04-21

After defeating Stephanie Gilmore in 1 to 2 metre surf conditions at the world-renowned Bells Beach in the Australian state of Victoria Courtney rang the bell for the second time running.

The third stop of the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), the Rip Curl Women's Pro Bells Beach, witnessed Courtney ring the coveted Bell for the second time after her dominance throughout the final series today.

The Californian unleashed her aggressive power-surfing to take down a stacked field of competitors, including six-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore, reigning WSL Champion Tyler Wright and three-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore .

"Winning it last year felt so good, but to back it up is amazing," said Courtney. "I'm so speechless. The first two events of the Australian leg did not go that well for me, so I'm stoked to finish it off with a win. I have always loved coming to Bells. It's an amazing arena with all of the fans down here. It's a really tricky wave to master, so to have two wins here is really special."

Courtney came into the start of the 2017 season as World No. 2, but a 9th place finish at the Roxy Pro Gold Coast and 5th place result at the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro set her back to World No. 9. The Californian's win today moves her up to fourth on the Jeep Leaderboard to now put her World Title campaign back on track.
