The sun was shining, the music was pumping, the crowd was cheering, and the girls were skating HARD. This was the best Vans Women's contest we have seen to date. With so many new girls in the mix, all the girls were forced to step it up and not play it safe, which made for some exciting skating. The tricks they pulled off were way bigger and more technical than in the past. Having new girls in the mix added to the excitement of never knowing who might make the finals. It was definitely not the same old / same old this contest!
Congrats to all the girls - you rocked it! In the end it was Hanna Zanzi in 1st, Lizzie Armanto in 2nd and Jordyn Barratt in 3rd.
Huge shout out and thank you to Vans and The Boardr for having us!

It's been 7 years since Hanna Zanzi has really competed, but today she showed she is back for good when she blazed through a field of top contenders on the women's pro skate circuit to take 1st place at the Vans Park series in Huntington Beach. This is like nothing we have ever seen, she came in, skated hard and fast, made drops and tricks that seemed impossible at times, and smiled her entire way through each run. Even with the pressure on, it was just like another day at the park for Hanna and she seriously KILLED it!
“This means the world to me. I skate every day and I skate my heart out. I skate so I can compete and so I can motivate all the other people out there. I’m back, and I’m so stoked.”
–Hanna Zanzi, First Place Winner Vans Park Series Women’s Global Qualifier
Lizzie Armanto looked solid and cool as always, skating her way into second place. 17 year old Jordyn Barratt, who just turned pro earlier this year, has been on a roll - starting with her Bronze medal at the X-Games in Austin, to 2nd place last weekend at Supergirl Pro, to a big 3rd place finish in a tough group of skaters today.
Looks like the finals in Sweden are going to be amazing to watch!

Record-Breaking Crowds Packed Oceanside Pier to Watch as Coco Ho edged out fellow Hawaiian Malia Manuel, whose Finish Today Earned her #1 in the World Qualifying Series. Carissa Moore and Laura Enever tie For third.
OCEANSIDE, Calif. (July 24, 2016) – Day three of the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro — the largest all-women’s surf contest in the world and the only WSL Women’s QS6000 event in North America — came down to a battle between two Hawaiian Supergirl podium vets, Coco Ho and Malia Manuel. Sunday saw fierce competition at the iconic Oceanside Pier as the Round of 16 was whittled down to Hawaiians versus Australians in the semifinals. After head-to-head heats in front of a packed beach, the top three spots went to Ho (HAW) taking first and jumping from No. 21 to No. 4 on the QS rankings, Manuel (HAW) at runner up, and Laura Enever (AUS) and Carissa Moore (AUS) tying for third.

The finals came down to a fight of former Supergirl titans when Manuel, the 2013 champion, faced Ho, who took first in 2008 and 2010. Ho captured the coveted pink Supergirl cape by posting two of the top scores in the final day of competition, earning a 9.00 (out of a possible 10) in the Final and matching the highest-single wave score of this year’s event.

The North Shore, Oahu native topped fellow Oahu islander Carissa Moore (HAW) with an equally impressive 8.50 in the Semifinals, and Nikk Van Dijk (AUS) in the Quarterfinals.
“It’s all a whirlwind!” said Ho, whose win earned her a third iconic Supergirl cape, and her first since the contest became a QS6000. “I’ve never really been labeled as consistent and to be able to prove that wrong with a third win is my biggest milestone.”
Manuel did not go down without a fight -- posting a 7.10 and 6.17, to earn runner up. By making it in to the Final, Manuel now sits at the No. 1 position on the Women’s QS rankings after a great run at this year’s Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro. The Kauai, Maui native showcased her powerful surfing and smooth style that progressed her through each round, topping Australians Macy Callaghan (AUS) in the Quarterfinals and Laura Enever (AUS) in the Semis.
“For years now Coco and I have wanted to be on opposite sides of the heat draw at Supergirl Pro so we could compete together in the finals. Finally being able to compete with each other in the finals is a dream come true for me and Coco,” said Manuel. “I’m so grateful to sponsors like Paul Mitchell who continue to support this event. It’s huge for us to have such a big company supporting women’s surfing like this.”
The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro is the only WSL QS6000 female competition in North America. The event will be broadcast on FOX Sports this fall.

Yet another female skateboarder carries/skates the Olympic torch through the streets of Brazil! Brazil is killing it with skateboarders be torchbearers - and not just skateboarders, FEMALE skateboarders. That's THREE now.
You can see who the other two girls have been in this post we did a few weeks ago HERE
Reine Oliveira is a pro downhill skateboarder form Brazil whose sponsors included Abec Wheels, Mission Skate Shop, and Sector 9 Skateboards and more. She was decked out in the colors of Brazil with red sneakers for her skate through the streets with the torch, and smiling big time!
Here's a loose translation of what she had to say about this moment in her Instagram post;
"Carrying the Olympic Torch in the north of São Paulo !!! Where I was born and the birth of my story on a skateboard. I as a professional, could not pass up this opportunity to represent downhill skateboarding !!! Despite all the political problems of our country believe that sport opens doors to a better world."
We can only wonder if Leticia Bufoni & Pamela Rosa will be up next....

THE BIGGEST NAMES IN WSL SURFING HIT THE WAVES ON DAY TWO OF THE PAUL MITCHELL SUPERGIRL PRO, NARROWING THE FIELD TO JUST 16
Supergirl Podium Veterans Sage Erickson, Coco Ho, and Malia Manual Make the Round of 16, Alongside Carissa Moore, Laura Enever, Silvana Lima, Meah Collins, Caroline Marks, and More
OCEANSIDE, Calif. (July 23, 2016) – The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro — the largest all-women’s surf contest in the world and the only WSL Women’s QS6000 event in the continental U.S. — wrapped day two in front of packed crowds at the Oceanside Pier as Supergirl Pro veterans battled with newcomers to earn a coveted spot in Sunday's Round of 16. Fourteen of 17 competitors from the Women’s Championship Tour (CT) contested some of the best QS standouts in three-to-four foot wave conditions.
Two-time Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro champion Sage Erickson (USA) began her campaign to claim her third title and a chance to earn the most #1 spots in the event's nine-year history this morning in Round Five with a heat victory and an 8.10. Coco Ho (HAW), who also won two previous Supergirl pink capes, advanced to Sunday’s heats to join Erickson in vying for a shot at a historic third championship.
Advancing into the Round of 16 with a runner-up performance in her second heat of the day, Erickson feels right at home and ready for tomorrow's challenges. Her presence is recognized from anywhere on the beach, as all the young and aspiring surfer girls surround her as she leaves the water.
"The camaraderie at this event is so great," Erickson said. "I keep asking myself what the winning formula is for having success here in the past and can’t really attribute to anything else but my family and friends here supporting me. It’s the most amazing feeling to have that support coming from all the younger girls and its an opportunity for us to step up and be role models for the younger girls who come out to watch.”
Topping Erickson in her second heat win of the day, Meah Collins (USA) broke new ground in her Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro and QS career by advancing into Round Seven. The Huntington Beach, Calif. native is finding more and more success on the QS this year at the young age of 16. Still plenty of time to gain the vital experience needed to become a full-time professional surfer, Collins is relishing the opportunity to be in tomorrow's final day of action.
"I’m so ecstatic right now," Collins said. "I’ve never done well in this contest, just never putting together the performance I needed, so to make it the farthest I have in any QS event is so great. I’m so in awe of surfing against these girls and just want to keep progressing so I can surf against even more of the top pros."
Making her third consecutive appearance at the contest, 14-year-old phenom Caroline Marks (USA), from Melbourne, FL, also earned a spot in the final 16 for the very first time. Marks held her own against CT powerhouses in today's heats and ultimately advancing alongside WCT #3-ranked Carissa Moore (HAW) in Saturday’s Round of 24.
“I’m super stoked to make the Round of 16 and really humbled to have moved on against so many great surfers,” Marks noted. “I’m really hungry and really excited for tomorrow. This weekend so far has been great, the waves have been so much fun and Supergirl is just such a cool event. It’s not just a surf contest. There’s a skate contest, and music... there are so many things to experience.”

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (July 22, 2016) – Day one of the three-day Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro — the largest women’s surf contest in the world and the only WSL Women’s QS6000 event in the continental U.S. — saw a field of 114 narrowed down to 64 on Friday, grinding through four rounds and eight heats. Thousands of beachgoers witnessed truly high-powered surfing during opening day as new-comers and some usual suspects debuted in consistent, three-to-five foot conditions on the south-side of the Oceanside Pier.
The event resumes today at 7:30 a.m. PST with the remaining Round Four heats and the start of Round Five, which will see many WCT powerhouses hit the water to battle for a coveted spot on Sunday's roster.

17-year-old Kahanu Delovio (HAW) put on a dominating performance and posted the day’s highest heat total (16.90 out of a possible 20) and single-wave score (8.73 out of a possible 10), in Round Three. Hailing from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Delovio will be in the first heat back in the water tomorrow as Round Four closes out.
“It was such good heat. Getting that eight really early boosted my confidence so high, then I found another one,” Delovio said. “I was stoked to be able to do that right away!”
The young Hawaiian is relishing the competition experience at Supergirl Pro as she prepares for an even bigger year in 2017. “I’m looking forward to getting my career started with events like this,” Delovio added. “I’m planning on doing the QS next year. But, I’ve been here the whole summer and I love it. There are just so many waves to practice on and a lot of good opportunities out here.”

Making her first appearance at Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro, Ariane Ochoa (EUK)— a Basque Country, Spain, native— is making every second count. Ochoa earned a Round Four heat win after making it through two previous rounds then clinched a spot into Round Five with a last-second ride,
“This is my first year here at Supergirl Pro and competing in the QS. I even can’t explain how happy I am to make it through all three heats today. I’m just so excited,” Ochoa said. “I was just trying to catch a little one as the heat died down, but kept finding closeouts and taking that last one in the final seconds felt great to get that score. Now I’ll get some rest and come back ready for tomorrow.”
Today, Ochoa and Delovio will find themselves competing against a field of 48 that includes many WCT top seeds— defending Supergirl Pro champ, Tatiana Weston-Webb (HAW), 20; Sage Erickson (USA), 25; Courtney Conlogue (USA), 23; Carissa Moore (HAW), 23; Lakey Peterson (USA), 21; Malia Manuel (HAW), 22; Coco Ho (HAW), 25; Silvana Lima (BRA), 31; Nikki Van Dijk (AUS), 21; Laura Enever (AUS), 24.

EVENT: GRO NYC x Homage Skate Night
This skate session is geared for intermediate and advanced riders. Although learning is possible at any GRO event, this session is also for those that already have the basics down and just want to ride.
Girls are encouraged to choose this session if they have mastered the basics of riding. If you are already comfortable on the board, know how to drop in on the ramp and how to stay safe in a fast paced park session.
All girls of all abilities are welcome to attend, but everyone must be able to be aware and safe with the advanced riders. Very young children may have a better experience at the other Homage session.
$5 Suggested Donation
Every participant must have a waiver signed with Homage to ride this event. Riders 18 and over can sign up at the session. Riders under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to sign. If a parent or legal guardian is unable to accompany a minor, email info@girlsriders.org to get a waiver before the event.
There are some boards and safety gear available to use if you don’t have your own. To ensure the availability of the gear you need, email info@girlsriders.org to provide a specific request of what you need.
Head over to GRO'S event page on Facebook to see more details!

We love these girls, competition is not on their agenda, soul skating is, and that's what they do - feels like a total throwback to 70's skateboarding and all that was good. The Lady Lurkers are an awesome group of girls just wanting to get out there and SKATE.
