Stephanie Gilmore is the next generation of women's surfing personified. Heralded as Happy Gilmore for her megawatt smile, Steph is a relatively new addition to the tour with a track record that reads like a seasoned veteran's. By the end of her first full season on the ASP Women's World Tour, her career highlights included six ASP Women's World Tour wins (two as a wildcard prior to her rookie season) a 2nd place final ranking on the 2006 and 2007 ASP WQS ratings and the ASP Women's World Title.

Gilmore's anticipated to continue her momentum, going down in history as one of the greats. Steph dominates lineups around the world, making her a daunting surfer to compete against, and it's no wonder she's predicted to follow in the footsteps of fellow ASP campaigner and Australian legend Layne Beachley and her seven ASP World Titles. Gilmore's advanced style and remarkable wins make her one to watch every time she hits the water and she'll enter the 2008 ASP Women's World Tour season as the most talked about athlete in women's surfing.
