Hawaiian Carissa Moore has just been crowned 2011 women's world champion after she made the final and Steph Gilmore knocked out her only rival Sally Fitzgibbon in the semis.
Moore will probably be pretty loose in the Roxy Pro France final against Gilmore later today. The womens longboarders are in the water now.
Moore is one of the new breed of surfers and rips pretty hard. She is at home in big waves and punting in little ones. She was one of the first star surfers to get mainstream sponsorship, signing with Target and Nike 6.0. Her win will help push Nike deeper into the action sports market.
