Lee Ann Curren (FRA), 20, 2010 ASP Dream Tour
rookie and daughter of legendary three-time ASP World Champion Tom
Curren (USA), 45, blitzed her opening heat of the Roxy Pro Gold Coast,
posting a 16.07 out of a possible 20 to advance directly through to
Round 3.
"It's my first heat being on the World Tour so it's really important to win it and I'm so stoked," Curren said. "I got some good scores and it was important to win that first heat because in Round 2 there is going to be some very hard heats."
In a battle that saw the lead flip-flop between all three competitors, Curren pulled out the heat win with some last-second heroics that saw her post a 7.57 out of a possible 10 on the final wave of the heat, to take the lead.
"I didn't get a lot of waves during the heat," Curren said. "I had a good one at first and then waited so I was kind of scared that Sofia (Mulanovich) would get a really good score and come before me and finally I had that last wave, with a really good wall and I had so much fun on it."
