Stephanie Gilmore
Hun slog rivalen Melanie Bartels der udtaler:
“I got smashed! The waves were good but I just couldn’t get it together against Steph. She is such a great competitor and any heat you have against her you know you have to be totally on your game. She is the surfer to beat. But this is a good start for me and a definite confidence booster for the start of the year. I am believing in myself and my surfing right now.”
Melanie Bartels vandt sidste års Roxy Pro Hawaii for næsen af Gilmore.
