And she reconfirmed that she will be taking Johanne Defay's place, competing here and in the three stages of Australia; with Pipe, she will add five of seven stages to the cut.

Basque surfer Nadia Erostarbe is already in El Salvador, where she completed her first sessions at Punta Roca. She took the opportunity to reaffirm on Instagram that she's replacing Johanne Defay and will compete in El Salvador and all three stages of Australia.

With six of seven stages added up to the year-end cutoff, along with Pipe, Nadia will be adding one less point to the final tally.

Erostarbe competed at Pipe where she finished ninth and was then not called up for either Abu Dhabi or Portugal.

However, with 2610 points, she is currently 8000 points behind the top spot, which is Bella Kenworthy's tenth place.

That is, mathematically, she has a chance of making it into the top 10 in the next four events, which will reclassify her.

Below is Nadia's post:
