Alice Lemoigne Wins The Boardmasters Longboard Pro.

In the all-Reunion Island women’s final, Alice Lemoigne took an early lead over compatriot Justine Mauvin (REU) 22, in the first half of the heat. She later caught another good wave to solidify her position and eventually took the win. The former European longboard champion takes an early rankings pole position and will look to perform in Vieux Boucau to re-claim the regional crown.





“The waves were so hard in the final, I tried to take as many as I could to multiply my chances but it was tough,” Lemoigne explained. “Surfing with Justine in the final was really cool, there was a good vibe out there, we both were relaxed and had our opportunities. I’m super happy to win here and will definitely try my hardest in the next event to win another European title.”



Mauvin, who peaked a little early with an amazing performance in the semifinals, couldn’t spot the right waves in the final and had to settle for second place. The talented regular-footer previously dispatched of the last British surfer in contention Emily Currie (GBR), with an excellent 16.75 heat total, the highest of the entire event in Newquay.



“I’m just getting back to competition so a second place is definitely a great result for me,” Mauvin reflected. “Waves in the semis were so fun, and unfortunately I couldn’t find the same rhythm in that last heat with sets breaking all-over the place and a lot of close-outs. I love competition and it’s always fun to surf with all the girls so even if I love freesurfing I’ll try to juggle the two and continue to represent my Island at events.”



LONGBOARD PRO NEWQUAY WOMEN’S FINAL RESULTS:

1 - Alice Lemoigne (REU) 10.10

2 - Justine Mauvin (REU) 7.65
