Congratulations to Steph Gilmore who totally out-classed Sophia Mulanovich in the final, with her super stylish, fast, cat-like reflexes in the bumpy 3-4ft onshore Bells Beach conditions in front of a huge crowd. “I’m a bit overwhelmed by this,” Gilmore said. “To ring the bell once is an amazing feeling, but three times? I don’t think the gravity of it has sunk in yet. It’s an incredible event and I feel very fortunate to have achieved such success here so far.”
