![]()
The french surfer Pauline Ado finished 2nd in an important WQS 6 Stars in Durban!
Ado finished with her career best result, placing runner-up in her second ever WQS competition, to earn R14 000 and jump to 42nd on the WQS ratings.
Im so happy I made the final, Ado said. When I came here I wasnt expecting such a good result, I just wanted to get some experience so that I can try to qualify on the WQS next year.
The final was amazing, I knew it would be tough to beat Silvana who was just amazing, she was just ripping the whole event, Ado said.
Ado defeated European Champion Lee Ann Curren (Fra) in the Semifinals and South African Roseanne Hodge (EL) in the Quarterfinals, making a big impression in Durban.
Pauline made a really good performance. Now, it’s time to train for the European Pro Juniors.
Congratulations Pauline!
