Johanne Defay Returns To Defiant Ways Bests World Champion Duo
Headline: Johanne Defay Wins Surf Ranch Pro
Defay Defeats Moore and Hopkins
Johanne Defay defeated reigning four-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore (HAW) by less than half a point in a hard-fought Final at the Surf Ranch Pro. Defay also defeated seven-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) in the Semifinals.
This is Defay's first win of the 2021 season and her second career win on the Championship Tour. She now moves up to second in the world rankings, behind Moore.
Defay's win is a big upset, as Moore has been dominant on the Championship Tour this season. Moore has won three of the first four events of the season and is the current world No. 1.
Defay's win is a testament to her hard work and determination. She has been working hard on her surfing all season and it has finally paid off.
