Kauli Vaast and Leila Riccobuano were victorious today at the Papara Pro Junior Tahiti Men's and Women's events -- each taking home their very first professional wins over formidable Hawaii finalists. The event will count toward regional rankings for the Hawaii/Tahiti Nui region - the ultimate goal being a slot into the 2018 World Junior Championships. The win also bodes well momentum-wise for the pair as they head into the Men's and Women's Papara Pro QS 1,000, which begin tomorrow.
