Kauli Vaast of France and Caroline Marks of the United States are the second-ever surfing gold medalists after winning in Tahiti on Monday.
Marks defeated Tatiana Weston-Webb of Brazil 10.50 to 10.33 in the women's gold-medal match while Vaast beat Australia's Jack Robinson 17.67 to 7.83 in their gold-medal meeting.
Gabriel Medina of Brazil came into the event as a favorite, but the waves didn't go his way and he was only able to put up one best wave score. Still, he found his way to the bronze-medal matchup, where he beat Peru's Alonso Correa.
