“I’m super happy, it’s always a good time here in Newquay,” said Lemoigne. “I love this place, it’s always fun to come here. I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to compete this year, because of my business back home, but I love to compete here so much that I decided I have to be here. Even when I saw the forecast was going to be hard, I really enjoy it here so I’m happy to get the win.”
Lemoigne opened her campaign in the Final with a 7.33 (out of a possible 10) for a few long hang fives with her graceful style, taking an early lead. After a few small rides, there was another pulse in the swell in the final few minutes which saw all surfers scoring rides. Lemoigne earned a 7.17 to secure the win with a 14.50 (out of a possible 20) total, while Lebreton (below) improved her score to finish runner-up.
The unseeded Rasmussen had an incredible run at Fistral Beach, and she scored the only excellent ride in the Final, but unfortunately a priority interference saw her finish with a third place, while Cornwall’s local star Currie (below) finished fourth.
