FINAL

 C. Conlogue(USA)14.50 X 11.10 B. Buitendag(SAF)




In 2013, "Court" was defeated by B. Buitendag(SAF)but in this Championship was different. C. Conlogue(USA)is surfing better, more comfortable in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. She was very happy in the Podium, with many many fans in Brazil.
All top surfers are very good athletes at maneuvers but depends on waves condictions of each stop, each surfer has his own surfing style and adapt himself better to the waves: high, heavy, tube, box, and so on...


C. Conlogue(BRA)is surfing very well this year, and maybe the world champion is upcoming???But she has to face Carissa Moore(HAW),Sally Fitzgibbons(AUS), Bianca Buitendag(SAF), Lakey Peterson(USA), Johanne Defay(FRA), Tyler Wright(AUS), Malia Manuel(HAW), T. Weston-Webb(HAW) ,Stephanie Gilmore(AUS), and so on.
