Qualified for the quarter-finals of the Haleiwa Challenger, last competition of the season, Vahine Fierro can still hang on to the climb on the CT. Virtually 10th in the standings before the last day, tonight or tomorrow at the end of the day, she will at least have to go to semi-finals, while a final would guarantee her the elite.
After 10 days of waiting, Vahine Fierro has finally entered the running. Poured directly into round 2, the Tahitian was in the rhythm quickly and her backside surf, applied more than explosive this time, made the difference to slip just behind Costa Rican Brisa Hennessy. This was done in still solid waves Sunday afternoon (2m), and after the men completed their final with the victory of John John Florence.
Disappointed teen
« Enfin, on a pu surfer ! » exclaimed Fierro, coming out of the water. And analyze: “It was a little more complicated than I thought. I had a fairly fast wave (5.33 pts) and afterwards I secured another (6.10 pts). “ Two long straight streaks that allowed him to escape in front of Tia Blanco (USA) and Philippa Anderson (Aus).
Two series earlier, Pauline Ado had not had the same luck in the choice of waves and had to bow to the trio of Americans Alyssa Spencer (1st), Carissa Moore (2nd) and Zoe McDougall (3rd). “I am inevitably disappointed. It all happened on the first exchanges in which I was not, the Angloye confided. I found myself in a bad rhythm. I couldn’t express myself. It’s a shame, I had possibilities. What dominates is the disappointment. “ 11th before Hawaii, Ado still had a chance to (re) qualify for the CT. Her elimination in the second round cost her the Top 6, so she should finish around 15th place.
An affordable quarter on paper
For Vahine Fierro, the story continues and the dream of accessing CT can come true. “To be honest, I don’t want to calculate the points because I want to avoid any loss of energy, however, the Tahitian woman. I just want to surf the best I can. Against anyone. And we’ll see if it passes. “
On paper, his quarter-final is the most affordable. She will be in the company of Alyssa Spencer (USA), Yolanda Hopkins (Par) and Pua Desoto (Haw). Going to running backs, if possible by dismissing Spencer would make him make a giant leap towards qualification. Answer next night if the call scheduled for this evening around 6.30pm confirms the launch of the last day of competition following.
