In short, unlike what some might think, wearing such apparel does more good than harm, and it is why it is hugely recommended and a very popular choice and decision for both ladies and men.

Gilmore Wins Roxy Pro

On Sunday 21 year old surfing sensation and reigning two-time ASP Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Gilmore of Australia , won the Roxy Pro Gold Coast, defeating Melanie Bartels, of Hawaii, to claim the first event on the 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour at Snapper Rocks in her home country.

Gilmore posted the highest wave score of the day on her very first wave with a 9.57 out of 10. She ripped it up with a series of fin releases and power carves.

“It was a really little wave,” Gilmore said. “I had a few flashbacks from 2005 where I was trying to pick off the little ones that were going to grow down the line. Today it just so happened I picked a good one. It is important to get a good start and get a lead early in the heat.”

Sunday’s victory was her 4th consecutive win on surfing’s ASP Women’s World Tour, having claimed the last three events of the 2008 season, and puts her well on the path to a third consecutive ASP Women’s World Title.

“It’s a new start for me,” Gilmore said. “To win on your home turf, in front of all these people, it’s unbelievable.”

We here at Buy-Board-Shorts.com know our customers and blog readers are also interested in surfing so we’ll be sure to keep you posted on other major surf contests and events!

Roxy Pro Update – Semifinals on Hold

As of today the women’s semifinals are on hold but yesterday the Roxy Pro Gold Coast was held in clean two-to-three foot waves at Duranbah Beach with the women surfers competing in three rounds of surfing before getting down to the semifinalists by the end of the long day.

Stephanie Gilmore, the reigning two-time ASP Women’s World Champion from Australia (show competing in her blue women’s board shorts above), was in sensational form today, beating Megan Abubo, of Hawaii, in Round 3 before ousting fellow Australian, Chelsea Hedges in the quarterfinals.

“It was a great heat with Chelsea (Hedges),” Gilmore said. “There was a lot of energy before we went down to the water and it just felt great. I love surfing with her, but it’s always hard. As I’ve said before, she’s probably the only girl I’ve ever competed against who can throw a 7 or 8 right back in your face at the start of a heat and it really fires me up. Of course, to come out on top is always a bonus.”

Gilmore is now into the Semifinals and looks to be the event favorite, securing the day’s high heat total of a 16.83 out of a possible 20 in her Round 3 heat.

“My last big result at home was when I was a wildcard at 17,” Gilmore said. “It’s always a treat to surf at home in front of your friends and family. Now that I’m through to the Semifinals, I’m feeling really good and hopefully, we’ll get to finish at Snapper Rocks.”

Gilmore will face 2009 ASP Dream Tour rookie Paige Hareb , of New Zealand, in Semifinal 1 when Roxy Pro Gold Coast competition continues.

Opening Day of 2009 Roxy Pro

Women's Board Shorts

Monday, March 2nd, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast women’s surfing event got off to a nice start in clean 2-3′ waves Down Under at Duranbah Beach.

The first of 8 events on the 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast opted to relocate from the primary site of Snapper Rocks this morning to Duranbah Beach to take advantage of the better conditions, and with the swell forecast for the event window becoming a challege, the possibility of various venues looms large for the Roxy Pro Gold Coast.

Shown in her white rash guard and black board shorts, above, Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18, 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour rookie, took command in a hard-fought Round 1 heat, scoring the highest heat total of the day, with an 18.77 out of a possible 20, to overtake Silvana Lima (BRA), 24, and Megan Abubo (HAW), 31.

“It was a good start to the event,” Fitzgibbons said. “I was really looking forward to competing up here on the Gold Coast. We were lucky we had a good heat for waves. I was just looking to get on a roll to push me through the whole event.”
