Stephanie Gilmore

There's nothing like the north shore in winter! The ladies paddle out to the first stop of the Van's Triple Crown of surfing in Hale'iwa. Cholo's Hawaiian Pro offered some awesome waves for the surfers to show their skill as the event was broadcasted live. Stephanie Gilmore surfed with power and style, earning rides in the nine point range and ultimately winning the event. Fellow Rip Curl team riders Tyler Wright and Alana Blanchard also took to the podium, Alana Blanchard having won the title at Hale'iwa the previous year. The Triple Crown continues at Sunset Beach for the Gidget Pro!

After her win, Moore climbed the ASP World Tour rankings from number eight to number five. The smiling, 18-year old Hawaiian was beyond stoked for her victory.

Wondering what the girls we're doing during their down time on the ASP World Tour? The second episode of Rip Curl's Tip 2 Tip- A Girls Touch- shows the girls livin' it up in Indonesia; fishing, surfing, laughing, and kickin' back on the boat.
