Ho wins World Pro Junior surf title

Hawaii’s Coco Ho defeated Australia’s Dimity Stoyle to capture the Oakley World Pro Junior surfing championship in Bali on Monday.

Ho, ranked No. 6 on the ASP world rankings, earned $5,000. The Oakley is the first of three ASP World Pro Junior events, with the next later this month in Brazil.

However, Ho said on aspworldtour.com, “This is probably my last event of the year and it’s great to go out on a win.”
