Paige Hareb has surfed to her second consecutive ninth placing at the Billabong Pro in Brazil overnight (Sunday) to hold her ranking of twelfth in the world.

Hareb placed third in the ‘power round’ losing to eventual winner Carissa Moore (HAW) and Courtney Conlogue (USA).  She then faced a head to head match up with local favourite and world number five Silvana Lima.

In front of a gigantic crowd of vocal supporters Lima took to Hareb scoring 14.33 to better Hareb’s 9.30.

The result leaves Hareb sitting in twelfth overall a spot she has occupied since the New Zealand leg where she secured her best result of the year – fifth.  She has two further events to go before the end of the tour – France (July) and USA (August).
