I caught the results for rounds one and two at the Rip Curl Women’s Pro presented by Ford Fiesta at Bell’s Beach.
No surprise that reigning ASP Women’s World Champion and defending event champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) netted the day’s highest heat total of a 17.40 out of a possible 20.
“It takes a fair bit of hard work (defending your title),” Gilmore said. “Everyone is surfing so well this season and everyone’s hungry for the win. It’s definitely going to be a bit harder than last year. However, I’m just taking it heat by heat. I was focusing on that last heat, and now I’m just looking ahead and focusing on my Round 3 heat.”
