Quiksilver Surfs Up

Quiksilver Surfs Up

Date: 2017-10-19

Hossegor, France on Saturday, October 14th, Gabriel Medina of Brazil and Carissa Moore from Hawaii, both claimed victory at the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro France, respectively, in excellent 1 to 1.5 metre rippable peaks at Stop No. 9 of the World Surf League Championship Tour.

The 2014 WSL Champion, Gabriel Medina, built momentum all week to peak at the perfect time in the final series and put together two massive heats in the Semifinals and Final to win the Quiksilver Pro France. His final bout against Sebastian Zietz of Hawaii, held in picture-perfect conditions at La Graviere, was the third French win of his young career.

Three-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore claimed back-to-back wins at the Roxy Pro France today, elevating her game to a whole new level and putting herself back in the World Title conversation by dispatching Lakey Peterson from USA, in the Final.

The incredible surf conditions at the Quiksilver Pro France, elevated the level of performance to new heights and witnessed Gabriel Medina earning his third Quiksilver Pro France win. The 2014 WSL Champion showcased his dominance today after defeating Zietz in the Final, reigning WSL Champion John John Florence in the Semi finals, and 2012 WSL Champion Joel Parkinson in the Quarterfinals. "I am so stoked," said Medina. "It feels so good to win again."

The Roxy Pro France, was equally graced with incredible conditions for the world's best female surfers, culminating with Moore's victory. "It has been a crazy year and just to come out with a win is amazing," said Moore. "This one means so much because it has been a tricky year. I've been going through some growth personally and it was just nice to see it all fall into place. I was just really happy this event. I had such a great support crew here and at home. The vibes were really good this week." The three-time WSL Champion claimed her first event win of 2017, putting an end to an unusually victory-poor season.
