Tyler Wright Claims 2013 Roxy Pro Gold Coast

Tyler Wright (AUS), 18, has claimed the Roxy Pro Gold Coast.

SNAPPER ROCKS, Queensland/Australia (Saturday, March 9, 2013) -Tyler Wright (AUS), 18, has claimed the 2013 Roxy Pro Gold Coast over Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22.

Full Report coming soon…

Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, 2011 ASP Women’s World Champion, continued with her brand of progressive ripping at the opening event of the season, but it was not enough this morning in her Semifinal clash with Fitzgibbons.

“It was tough out there today,” Moore said. “I definitely didn’t pick the right waves and there weren’t that many to begin with. Congrats to Sally (Fitzgibbons) though. She was surfing really well. Semifinals is a good result to start the year and I’ll look to build upon that over the course of the next few events.”

Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25, reigning five-time ASP Women’s World Champion and 2012 Roxy Pro Gold Coast winner, was the favorite heading into this year’s opening event and her form until the final day was near flawless. However, the hometown natural-footer was ousted from competition this morning in her Semifinal bout against an in-form Wright

“I put together a pretty good event until this point,” Gilmore said. “I haven’t surfed Snapper that much in conditions like this so that definitely played a factor. My wave selection wasn’t on today and Tyler (Wright) is so talented that I shouldn’t have let my guard down with her. Sometimes a loss for me is good though – it lights a fire under me and makes me appreciate the wins that much more.”

The next stop on the 2013 ASP Women’s World Championship Tour (WCT) is the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro in Western Australia from March 16 – 24, 2013.

While the women’s event has finished at Snapper Rocks, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast is once again underway with Round 2.

When men’s competition resumes, up first reigning ASP World Champion Joel Parkinson against event wildcard Brent Dorrington (AUS) in the opening heat of Round 2.
