The win, Fitzgibbons' first event victory of the year in the penultimate event of the women's world tour, came on a day of outstanding surfing from the 22-year-old in which she grabbed a perfect 10 and claimed the final 17.67 to 17.00. "It's been a long road this year and I wanted to finish strong," Fitzgibbons said. Wright took the upper hand in the final when she jagged a perfect 10 of her own, before Fitzgibbons fought back with a late-scoring wave.

Moore placed equal third at the French event. Of course I'm bummed. I wanted to make the final and have a strong performance, but that's competition. I just have to stay happy and focused and get excited for Portugal," she said.
