Conlogue took the win at the Corona Open J-Bay

Date: 2019-07-19
The Corona Open J-Bay, the sixth stop on the 2019 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), completed the remaining two heats of the women's Round of 16 before the wind came up and event organizers called competition off for the day. Americans Lakey Peterson and Courtney Conlogue won their heats in three-to-six foot (0.9- 1.8 meter) conditions at Jeffreys Bay, sending home Australians Bronte Macaulay and Nikki Van Dijk, respectively.

Event organizers called competition OFF for, Monday, with a restart planned for Tuesday, July 16.

"We are going to be off tomorrow, Monday," said Travis Logie, WSL Competition Director. "Similar waves to today but a little bit smaller and less consistent, and we have promising swell coming Tuesday and Wednesday."

Courtney Conlogue (USA) and Nikki Van Dijk (AUS) battled for a place in the Quarterfinals in Heat 7 of the Round of16. The exchange was as close as it could get with equal scores and the tie-breaker going to the third­ highest wave score. Conlogue and Van Dijk traded perfect set waves, with Conlogue controlling the heat from the start. Van Dijk stayed calm and committed and overtook the lead. With a few minutes to go, Conlogue matched the required score, and the two competitors' top two scores tied with 13.00 points (out of a possible 20). Conlogue took the win thanks to her third-highest wave score, a 5.83 to Van Dijk's 5.17. Watch the action.

Meanwhile in Lennox Head, NSW,Australia, The Boys Pro Junior divisions, in the 2019 Skullcandy Oz Grom Open presented by Vissla, continued today with the second round being run-and-won in decent two-foot conditions.

Dakoda Walters from Angourie, New South Wales, continued his excellent momentum as he nailed his second round heat. Much like his performance yesterday, Walters got off to an early start, beginning the heat with giant 8.00 scoring wave for a series of mammoth forehand wraps, before backing it up with a 7.07 to take his heat total to 15.07.
