AFTER two lay days, Wednesday saw the female surfers back in the water at Main Break to crown a champion.
Kicking off the morning were the quarterfinals with Australian Sally Fitzgibbons proving too strong for American Lakey Peterson.
Reigning champion Carissa Moore made light work of fellow Hawaiian Tatiana Weston-Webb and while Hawaiian Malia Manuel stole the third quarterfinal victory in the dying seconds with a 8.50 on her sixth and final wave.
The final quarterfinal saw a large upset with American Courtney Conlogue eliminating last year's runner up Tyler Wright.
World number one Carissa Moore showed her strength in the first semi-final to eliminate the last Australian in Sally Fitzgibbons before American Courtney Conlogue continued her blistering day eight run to eliminate Hawaiian Malia Manuel and book her grand final spot.
Conlogue put the pressure on Moore early and had a six point lead with just six minutes left on the clock which proved too much for Moore.
AMERICAN Courtney Conlogue has been crowned the women's champion at the 2015 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro.
The 22-year-old capped off a dominant week to capture the victory over Clarissa Moore who won the 2013 and 2014 Margaret River Pro.
