It's not often you get to schmooze with a four-time world champion surfer but I was lucky enough to snag a moment with the ever smiling Stephanie Gilmore at Dee Why the other day. She was competing in the Beachley Classic and pulling off some amazing moves including vertical foam riding and snaps off the lip. It's those legs that do it, and the smile!
But it wasn't enough t get her over the line at this particular event, loosing out to Hawaiian teen Carissa Moore in the semi finals, a powerhouse surfer who went on to walk away 40K richer. But with three events left on the tour, there's still hope for the lady in pink! All power to her.
