Tya Zebrowski wins the Rip Curl Pro Anglet, extends her lead in the European QS

Unstoppable. After her wins in Newquay, England, and Pantin, Spain, Tya Zebrowski kept the momentum going by winning the Rip Curl Pro Anglet (QS 3000) on Friday, September 20th. This marks her third QS victory in just two months. A few days earlier, she also made headlines by winning the GromSearch in the U16 category, as well as the Surf de Nuit, where she represented Team Rip Curl alongside Lukas Skinner.

In the final of the Rip Curl Pro Anglet, the 13-year-old prodigy faced Basque surfer Annette Gonzalez Etxabarri, Israel's Anat Lelior, and Portugal's Teresa Bonvalot. Despite small waves, the French surfer stood out by executing technical maneuvers on the most critical sections, earning a 6.33 score with a perfectly executed frontside maneuver.

This victory solidifies Tya Zebrowski’s status as a rising star. She extends her lead at the top of the European QS rankings and will join the Challenger Series next year, a crucial step towards qualifying for the prestigious Championship Tour (CT).

"I'm super happy to win another QS, especially here in France, to be number one in the European rankings, and to have qualified for the Challenger Series. I hope to do well in the CS. The conditions weren't easy, but I was lucky to catch that first wave," she said after the final, cheered by the crowd and surrounded by her loved ones.
