Gaspard Larsonneur And Pauline Ado Claim 2020 Cabreiro Pro Las Americas Titles

Gaspard Larsonneur And Pauline Ado Claim 2020 Cabreiro Pro Las Americas Titles

Date: 2020-02-14

Las Américas, Tenerife in the Canary Islands is where Gaspard Larsonneur (FRA) and Pauline Ado (FRA) have won the QS1,500 Cabreiro‡ Pro Las Americas, claiming victory in the Finals against Jonathan Gonzalez (CNY) and Ariane Ochoa (EUK) held in wind-affected two-to-three foot surf at Las Américas.

Stop No. 2 on the 2020 World Surf League (WSL) European Qualifying Series (QS), the Cabreiro‡ Las Americas Pro Tenerife enjoyed a good run of swell and big performances by Europe's best surfers, culminating today in the Finals.

Local Tenerife legend Jonathan Gonzalez (CNY) took on Gaspard Larsonneur (FRA) in the men's Final. The Canarian marched his way to the Final with seven straight heat wins and excellent scores in nearly all of them, including an incredible 9.53 in Round 5.

The Frenchman on the other hand launched his event in Round 3 and started collecting wins when he eliminated the defending event winner Timothee Bisso (FRA) in Round 4 alongside Jensen whom he would later dispatchin the Semifinal.

The French surfer didn't let the pressure affect him and managed to come back with an excellent 8.17 in the dying minutes of the heat to claim his first-ever victory on the Qualifying Series.

Ariane Ochoa (EUK) and Pauline Ado (FRA) met in the Women's Final, and this time both surfers had to earn their way since Round 1.

In a slow Final, both surfers got very selective and while the first couple of swings went Ado's way, Ochoa started to put pressure on the French surfer with a great wave to get back into fighting distance. She quickly turned the heat, leaving Ado scouring the lineup for a mid-5. Ado got the upper hand with an excellent 8.27 over Ochoa's 7.50 to re-claim the lead. Ado is a 10-time European champion (7 titles on the QS and 3 in the junior division) who spent 5 full seasons on the Championship Tour claiming multiple Quarter and Semifinal results at the highest level.
