Kauli Vaast Wins 2023 Rip Curl Pro Search Taghazout Bay

Tahiti's Kauli Vaast has won the QS 3000 Rip Curl Pro Search Taghazout Bay in Anza, Morocco.

This win marks Kauli's first career victory. Turning 21 years old today, the Tahitian has already received many distinctions, among which his runner-up finish as a wildcard in last year’s Championship Tour (CT) event at Teahupoo shines brightest. Today he adds a QS win to an impressive resume, set to continue to grow over the coming years.

“I’m super focused this year. I really want to give it my all and qualify. Winning this QS is just extra motivation for me, and to do it on my birthday is just special.”
