The Hits Keep On Coming! 
Reigning ASP Women’s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) hasn’t been shy of accolades or praise since making ASP History in Maui last December, but sport media giant is throwing another log on the fire by nominating Ms. Gilmore as Best Female Action Sports Athlete in the 2008 Espy Awards. Should Steph take top honors, the preternatural talent could be rubbing shoulders with Espy’s host and international superstar Justin Timberlake on July 20th, 2008. Don’t just sit on your haunches, get out there and vote!

International Arse Whooping 
Last Monday was an impressive day for Australian junior surfing (and what some are calling a harsh one for the North Americans). With only four Australians (all of whom started in Round 1) competing in the ASP Grade-4 Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure Pro Junior in Huntington Beach, three of them survived the 80-man field to crack the final and take first, second and third. Julian Wilson, Stuart Kennedy and Chris Salisbury took top honors with Newport Beach’s Andrew Doheny round out the final. Never has such an international group been so dominating in an overseas ASP Pro Junior event, and if it’s any indication of how the Australians plan to do at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, the world needs to watch out.
