The HURLEY team dominates both the Men's & Women's finals
at the Oi Rio Pro.
SAQUAREMA, Brazil, June 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It was a heater of a finals day
for team Hurley at the Oi Rio Pro, held in Saquarema, Brazil about two hours outside of Rio De Janeiro. Three-time event winner
(now four-time!) Filipe Toledo
originally hails from São Paulo, so it's no wonder that Toledo had
massive fan support on the beach in Brazil. That, paired with his yellow-jersey
momentum and knack for Brazilian beach breaks sent Toledo to a
place he's getting more and more familiar with: first. Not only did
he take the W in Saquarema, he did it with a perfect 10 — one of
his best executed in-contest airs in years.
5x World Champion Carissa Moore
is up to her old tricks again, which is to say, winning. In the
dying minutes of the Women's Finals in Saquarema, Moore was in
search of a 7.5, which she found (and then some), her heat-winning
wave clocking in at a 9.5. Meaning, Moore left the contest much how
she started it: in the yellow jersey.
"What a day for Team Hurley! I got to enjoy the show with a nice
cup of coffee and watch Carissa and Filipe, the two most consistent
surfers of the season get back on top! Riss nailing the last minute
9.5 had me jumping through the roof straight into Filipe and one of
the biggest backside airs ever — a perfect 10. To say the least, my
day was made by 9am," said
Brett Simpson, Hurley's head of
Sports Marketing.
With these superior showings, both Moore and Toledo are the
first to qualify for the Final 5 event at Lower Trestles. Stay
tuned for more action from the WSL as competitors set their sights
on the next event, the Corona Open at J-Bay in South Africa, running July 12-21 at worldsurfleague.com.
