Tyler Wright Prepares To Battle For Her Second World Title

HONOLUA BAY, Maui, Hawaii (Thursday, November 23, 2017) – Starting on November 25th at the Maui Women’s Pro, the world’s best female surfers will descend on the famed surf break of Honolua Bay in Hawaii, to battle it out for the 2017 World Title trophy.

Currently sitting second in the Title race is none other than Tyler Wright, the current reigning Women’s World Champion. With 51,200 points Tyler is only 1,700 points away from the top surfer on the Jeep Leaderboard, Sally Fitzgibbons.

Heading into the Maui Women’s Pro, which runs from November 25th to December 6th, Tyler has a solid shot at taking home her second (and consecutive) World Title trophy.

“I’m ready to do this,” said Tyler. “My boards are good, my coach Glenn ‘Micro’ Hall is here with me, and there’s nothing left to do to prepare. I’ve been on the North Shore training and surfing for a few weeks now, and really, I can’t wait for the event to start and the race to begin.”

The scenario is this…

If Tyler wins she Maui, she wins the Title.

But! If she finishes…

…2nd, Sally Fitzgibbons (sitting 1st) and Courtney Conlogue (sitting 3rd) can’t make the final

…3rd, Sally can’t make Final

…5th, Sally and Courtney can’t make the Semis, and Stephanie Gilmore (sitting 5th) and Carissa Moore (sitting 4th) can’t win

Last year, Tyler won the Maui Women’s Pro without one hiccup – and if her track record at Honolua is anything to go off of, she’s well situated to fight for that World Title.

Tune in the World Surf League from November 25th to December 6th. We’re in for a World Title showdown, and our money’s on Tyler Wright.
