LAGIDE, Peniche\/Portugal (Saturday, October 9, 2010) \u2013Carissa Moore (HAW), 18, 2010 ASP Women\u2019s World Tour rookie, has claimed her second career victory today, taking out the Rip Curl Women\u2019s Pro Portugal over reigning three-time ASP Women\u2019s World Champion and current ASP Women\u2019s World No. 1, Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 22, in offshore six-to-eight-foot (2.5 metre) waves at the backup venue of Lagide.<\/p>\n

The young Hawaiian was the dominant surfer from the outset of the event, consistently notching up the highest heat and wave scores of the round, and continued her backhand decimation with an excellent 17.44 out of a possible 20 in the Final.\u201cI\u2019m really excited \u2013 my breath is taken away at the moment,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI\u2019ve just been trying to take it heat by heat and not think about it who I\u2019m coming up against all event, and focusing on my surfing each heat. I didn\u2019t have too much time to think about it between the Semis and Final. The waves were so good so we had a quick turnaround, but once I was out there and I was looking at Steph (Gilmore), I was thinking, \u2018wow, I\u2019m in the Final with Steph right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The prodigious natural-footer had no easy path to her Final with Gilmore this afternoon, having to advance past Australians Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 19, and Claire Bevilacqua (AUS), 27, in her Quarterfinals and Semifinals respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cSally (Fitzgibbons) and I have had great match-ups all year and she has been surfing so well all event so I definitely felt a bit of relief after getting through that Quarterfinal,\u201d Moore said. \u201cNot to discount Claire (Bevilacqua) or Steph (Gilmore), but that Quarterfinal win gave me a bit of confidence for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s victory rockets the rookie sensation from 8th to 5th on the ASP Women\u2019s World Title Race rankings. Having missed the last event in Peru to attend her high school graduation, Moore is now 100% focused on the ASP Women\u2019s World Tour and has announced herself as a major force amongst the women\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have any excuses now without school anymore,\u201d Moore said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to have that extra time to dedicate to surfing and training. I\u2019m stoked to be where I\u2019m at right now. I\u2019ve never been to Puerto Rico before. Each event is a new chance and a clean slate. I\u2019ve heard they have some really fun waves and I can\u2019t wait to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gilmore\u2019s Runner-Up finish solidifies her position as the frontrunner in the hunt for a fourth, consecutive ASP Women\u2019s World Title. The iconic natural-footer now only needs to secure an Equal 3rd to clinch the title in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waves here in Peniche are always so much fun,\u201d Gilmore said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t put on more of a show out there, but Carissa (Moore) showed everyone how much fun it can be out there. I\u2019m very happy with a Runner-Up finish and I\u2019m looking forward to the next event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire Bevilacqua (AUS), 27, secured a career-best result today, posting an Equal 3rd at the Rip Curl Women\u2019s Pro Portugal and moving from 13th to 11th on the ASP Women\u2019s World Title Race rankings.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust happy with the result,\u201d Bevilacqua said. \u201cI\u2019m stoked I can hang around and enjoy Portugal for a few days and not worry about the contest. I\u2019m staying at a beautiful place and I\u2019m happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sofia Mulanovich (PER), 27, former ASP Women\u2019s World Champion, was the other form surfer to post an Equal 3rd in Portugal, moving from 4th to 3rd amongst the women\u2019s world elite.<\/p>\n
