CALIFORNIA SURFER SAGE ERICKSON WINS SUPERGIRL PRO Ventura, California surfer Sage Erickson has won the ASP 6-Star Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro over Tatiana Weston-Webb (Kauai, HI), in one-to-three foot waves at Oceanside Pier. Erickson took an early lead in the final, but Weston-Webb quickly overtook the Californian, holding the lead throughout the majority of the heat. Erickson answered back, delivering a big backhand snap of a left set for a 6.83 and her second career Supergirl Pro victory. Erickson, former WCT surfer, entered the event ranked number six and the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro victory places the regular-footer in excellent position to requalify for the 2015 elite roster. Tatiana Weston-Webb delivered some serious ripping and tearing in the small Oceanside conditions, delivering electric combinations on both her forehand and backhand. The second place finish marks the first QS final of the Kauaian’s career. Weston-Webb, injury replacement on the WCT, fell one spot shy of officially joining the Top 17 this season and hopes her final performance propels her to a WCT berth for next season. Silvana Lima (BRA), 30, current number one on the ASP QS, started strong on the final day of competition, launching a solid air-reverse for a 9.80 in Round 6 while posting a 17.73 heat total. The Brazilian’s scores marked the highest of the event, but Lima was unable to find any substantial scores in the Semifinals, finishing equal third overall. Coco Ho (HAW), 23, current No. 10 on the WCT, was a standout throughout the entirety of the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro, navigating her way through each round with convincing heat wins. Ho battled fellow Hawaiian Weston-Webb in the Semifinals, eventually finishing third overall.
