The GWM Catch Up Finals Day: Hately breaks through, Kainalo wins at home to take rankings lead

A finale only Maresias could provide and one you’ll want to get all caught up from the Banco do Brasil São Sebastião Pro Finals Day that witnessed greatness from Charli Hately and Ryan Kainalo. The first-ever Challenger Series event to hit Maresias didn’t let Hately and Kainalo down, with the 17-year-old Australian, Hately, and Brazil’s own Kainalo climbing their way to the top amid formidable fields. Kainalo’s strike rate in the air kept providing clutch scores when he needed them most, alongside a powerful rail game, that took him all the way atop the podium to claim back-to-back major CT qualification points ahead of Ericeira. For Hately, this marked the first time she claimed heat wins, let alone a career-defining Challenger Series victory. Now, the EDP Ericeira Pro Presented By Xacobeo awaits where we could witness the first CT qualifiers, beginning October 6 through 12.
