Steph wins Roxy Pro, Those pics and all the latest photos of the Quiksilver Pro 2009, at Snapper Rocks, the Super bank

Local girl and current world champ,  Stephanie Gilmour has got off to a great start in 2009 .

Steph took out the Quiky Pro yesterday, she was looking polished, relaxed and well……..unbeatable!!. maybe they should give her the world title now…..

Melanie Bartels was the other finalist, she got there with power and style. This girl really loves to over power the waves with big carves, great to watch.

All the other girls are playing catch up already…

Unfortunately for Kelly his start to the year was pretty much the opposite.  Kelly Slater got smashed by wildcard Julian Wilson in the 3rd round.

And as you would expect  he was not happy about it…

Happy Happy Gilmour

Everyone is carrying on about his board being a mistake?? Who knows??  I thought he fell off too may times .
and Julian was on fire.

Mick is still in the running
