I’d like to send a huge congratulations out to Stephanie Gilmore who won the 2007 ASP Women’s world tour as a rookie on Maui. It has been awesome watching her surf all year and an inspiration to see her take the title in her rookie year. congrats kid!

It was an amazing 2007 Hawaii Triple Crown Season. It started off with Haleiwa, my homebreak and favorite wave in the world and ended with Honolua Bay probably one of the best waves in the world. The women’s tour was blessed with amazing waves and we really got lucky considering it was a very up and down winter. Haleiwa was awesome and I scored my first perfect 10 and took home the trophy to the one contest i have always wanted to win my whole life. It was probably the best day of my life and I won’t ever forget it. The waves were so good too! Sunset was absolutely insane, fun size and perfectly glassy and picture perfect. Unfortunately in the semifinals I took a horrendous wipeout and ended up in the hospital with torn intercostal muscles and bruised ribs. I thought i was out and the triple crown was a done deal for me. But i ended up getting lucky and surfed my heats and made it far enough on maui to win the crown. It is probably the biggest accomplishment in my entire surfing career. Right now I’m on a break and just reflecting last year and enjoying the many great things surfing has given me this past year. I hope everyone has a great new year and happy times! ALOHA
