She had a two-wave total of 14.24 just enough to take home that $12,000 check. Stephanie Gilmore at 21 years old, bagged her 3rd consecutive ASP World Title, making history as the only surfer ever to win the prestigious crown each year they've competed on the ASP World Tour level (men’s or women’s). And Leila Hurst was also crowned today, as the 2009 Rookie of the Triple Crown. The girls really stepped it up today, if you didn't see the action that was going on, I suggest you check out the heats on demand on the Triple Crown website, the girls were shredding today. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/440-730721.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/440-730718.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/carissa-600x400-723497.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/carissa-600x400-723470.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/stefgil_gpsr109(cestari)500-791686.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://triplecrownofsurfing.com/gidgetpro/uploaded_images/stefgil_gpsr109(cestari)500-791684.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/winDz3z42KM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/winDz3z42KM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />1st - 14.24 Carissa Moore HAW<br />2nd - 13.07 Sally Fitzgibbons AUS<br />3rd - 12.17 Stephanie Gilmore AUS<br />4th - 11.17 Alana Blanchard HAW<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5457996845854669252-7082699764931502887?l=triplecrownofsurfing.com%2Fgidgetpro' alt='' /></div>nolan hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12003916499718201162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457996845854669252.post-1895193073426793752009-11-28T14:16:00.000-08:002009-11-28T14:17:16.483-08:00The Gidget Pro champion will be crowned today. <br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5457996845854669252-189519307342679375?l=triplecrownofsurfing.com%2Fgidgetpro' alt='' /></div>Vans Triple Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04414433171544170303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457996845854669252.post-13302833262242400522009-11-28T09:54:00.000-08:002009-11-28T09:54:06.935-08:00An inconsistent rising swell has put both the Gidget Pro on Standby until signs of more consistent surf appear.
