Steph Gilmore takes her 3rd Womans World title

in

Steph Gilmore has taken the first of the World titles for the Australians this year yesterday at Sunset beach. This is Stephs 3rd world title and was totally shocked when the announcement was made that she had won after her semi final in the Gidget pro at sunset beach. The event was eventually won by Hawaiian Carissa Moore taking out Sally Fitzgibben, Steph and Alana Blanchard in that order. I got to witness the event first hand being in hawaii, and not normally being a fan of womans surfing, i was shocked to see how amazing all the girls were surfing.
