We recently filed a story on Volte team rider Claire Bevilacqua and her local spot near Yallingup in Western Australia. Claire took us through an average morning session, explaining why she thrived on being at home after lengthy stints overseas competing on the WQS tour. It seems all that travel and hard work is paying off however, after ‘Bevo’ took out the recent WQS contest in Barbados. Read on below to hear her take on the victory.
It was a day for the books as two former Championship Tour (CT) competitors Claire Bevilacqua and Alessa Quizon vied for the first-ever Qualifying Series event on Barbadian shores. But, in the end it was Bevilacqua who claimed the ultimate victory in nail-biting fashion.
Bevilacqua needed an 8.10 going into the final exchange with Alessa Quizon and emerged victorious with an 8.40. The Australian battled through sickness and discomfort to claim the ultimate prize of 3,000 points — and now sits in the Top 5 leaving the island of Barbados. Bevilacqua had her taste of the CT seven years ago for a two-year stint and, at 34-years-old, she still retains passion for her return.
“What just happened’ is pretty much going through my head right now. Getting those waves in the last few seconds never happens to me,” Bevilacqua said. “They either don’t come or I choke on them, but just breathing and pulling everything together really helped — I kept telling myself it’s not over and it’s incredible to come out of that with a win. The younger generation makes me want to be better everyday and I’m just going to keep doing this until my back gives out or I’m back on Tour.”
