Congratulation Lakey Peterson winner of the 2019 #MargaretRiverPro 🏆
The WSL drone spotted a small shark approaching the Main Break lineup and put the heat on hold. The surfers were picked up by the jet skis immediately, and the safety teams are monitoring the shark’s movements now. Safety (both for athletes and staff) is a priority for the WSL and the organization is in constant communication with its athletes and event organizers regarding venues, safety protocols, and response abilities. We will continue to monitor until the competition zone is clear.
