Stephanie Gilmore Claims Third Consecutive ASP Women’s World Title at Sunset   |  Francais/Espanol below

Surfmovies.org Global Surf News, 28 November, 2009 : - - Sunset Beach, Oahu, Hawaii – Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 21, has claimed her third consecutive ASP Women’s World Title today, making history as the only surfer ever to win the prestigious crown each year they have competed at the elite ASP World Tour level (men’s or women’s). 

The clinching was somewhat unexpected as today’s competition began with six surfers in contention for the 2009 ASP Women’s World Title. With each heat advancement and the narrowing of the field at the Gidget Pro Sunset Beach, Event No. 6 of 7 on the 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour, the irrepressible Gilmore navigated her way to her third ASP Dream Tour Title. 

“It’s surreal to win for a third time,” Gilmore said. “It’s amazing! I woke up this morning and knew it was going to be a good day. The waves were building and you sort of get that fuzzy feeling throughout the day. I really don’t even know what to think about it. I just want to thank everyone for the support that I’ve had throughout the whole year.”

No crowds, no tourists, no traffic;  that is The Surf Experience

 


The Surf Experience Surf Camp

The Algarve in Portugal offers spectacular year-round surfing


The Surf Experience was founded in 1993 and is located in the south west of Portugal. The Algarve is right in front of AFRICA! This gives us a good year round climate and more sun shine days than most of the rest of Europe. Water temp almost never drops below 16 C. Situated near the renowned, deceptively quaint town of Lagos, The Surf Experience offers a surfing holiday unrivaled anywhere in Europe. It´s a unique taste of the surfer lifestyle!

The surf beaches are surrounded by immense and breathtaking scenery, with no building developments and tourist hoards. Get ready to breathe a little dirt as the roads to some of the beaches are crazy!!! Wave size and quality ranges from average to epic with an assortment of reefs and beachbreaks. The beauty of surfing this corner of the world is that there is a variety of waves for surfers of all levels.
