The world’s best surfers have been decided by their peers and top honours went to Australian surfers and world champions Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmore at the 16th annual Surf Life Peer Pole Awards at Bells Beach.
The Surfing Life Peer Poll Awards are the only surfing awards that surfers themselves vote for. For most who are nominated it is truly one of the highest honours around.
‘Being voted by your peers there is no better award. I am so stoaked,’ Fanning said. Gilmore said she appreciated the support of the magazine in continuing to raise the profile of female surfing.
