BEACHLEY WINS BILLABONG GIRLS PRO BRAZIL AND TAKES RATINGS LEAD

"It’s a little frustrating. There was a lot of current out there," Georgeson said. "When I was watching it there were a lot of waves on the left, but then there were some popping up on the right too so I paddled over and then the waves were on the left again. It was just one of those frustrating heats where you just have to sit in one spot and let the waves come to you I guess."

Frustrations aside, Georgeson’s equal third finish sees her maintaining her current third spot on this season’s ratings.

The girls will be jetting across the Atlantic next for the Rip Curl Pro Mademoiselle in Hossegor, France held from August 31 to September 5, 2006.
