Silvana Lima took the top score at the third round of the Roxy Pro Gold Coast surfing competition in Australia.
The two-time ASP Women’s World Runner-Up (2008, 2009) from Brazil secured the day’s highest heat total, a 15.27 out of a possible 20, during her Round 3 bout against Pauline Ado (FRA), 20, and Sofia Mulanovich (PER), 27.
“The conditions are really hard and I knew I had to hassle. I felt confused about the waves, some were fat and I didn’t know which ones to choose. I didn’t want to lose, I feel like I always have to win. I got a few at the end, so I’m happy to get through.”
Event organizers will reconvene on Tuesday 8th March at 6:30am Queensland time to assess conditions for a possible 7:30am start.
