Jessi started the heat with a good right (6 points out a possible of 10), then Enever stayed in the outside waiting for the set, without priority Jessi started to get many waves. Enever got one to receive 4.17 from judges, and with 10 minutes remaining, Jessi founded a great right and with three big turns (8.33 points) left Enever needing a combination of two waves to win the final.

"I’m very happy because I hadn’t won a contest in a very long time. My last time was in Peru, so I think I have luck here in South America" said Jessi Miley-Dyer. "I’m not going well in the World Tour this year, so I needed to run the WQS to confirm my position to 2010. I knew I needed a good result here in Brazil. It was a difficult week, no waves, them we had big waves for two days in a row, so It was nice, so now I just want to celebrate."

She defeated two-time ASP Women’s World Champion and current ASP Women’s World No. 1 Stephanie Gilmore (Australia), 21, in stormy three-to-five foot (1.5 metre) conditions. It was an action packed Final, marking back-to-back wins for the hungry Brazilian after claiming the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.

Lima secured the win against Gilmore with an 8.83 for a lengthy forehand barrel to post the highest heat total of the event, an impressive 16.60 out of 20, en route to her first victory at the event after three consecutive Final appearances.

“I can’t believe it,” Lima said. “I’ve been in the Final in this event three times and I finally won. I was feeling really confident. The waves here today were like the waves in Brazil and I’m always surfing in these conditions. The final was really good. Steph (Gilmore) got some good waves too and I was able to get two good ones.”

The ratings have significantly tightened for this year’s ASP Women’s World Title and although Gilmore still holds on to the ratings lead, Lima is following closely in the No. 2 position.
