Adam was ripping in a really tough round 2 heat and progressed to the final 24. Owen had a bit of a shocker and bowed out. In round 3 ( no loser ) Adam surfed with speed and power but finished 2nd by 0.13. He surfs next in round 4 Ht 1 vs JDub. Tyler waited until the last minute to get her best wave and easily progressed into the semis.
Update March 23rd
Adam was eliminated falling victim to the conditions and wave choice today . He finished 17th with 1300 points.
Update March 24th
Tyler Wright has finished 2nd in the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro WCT womens event. In her semi she notched up an 18.43 total before her opponent knew what hit her. Unfortunately right after her 2nd excellent wave Ty was smashed up the dry rock shelf and surfed the rest of the heat in pain. In the final Tyler was a little out of synch with the ocean and spent most the heat copping massive close out sets on the head. This 2nd huge result for the year has Ty sitting at No. 1 in the WCT rankings. Congratulations
“It’s only the second event of the year and in no way am I looking at being number one at all! I’m up against World Champions, a three times world runner-up and the rest of the tour as well. I’m just being me more this year and I’m really happy and I think it’s showing in my surfing. I’ve done a lot of growing up over the past two years and I’m enjoying the tour. My brother Owen has been a great support to me, he was at this contest but went home. He called me this morning and we had a massive conversation and that helped me to the podium today.”
