You nailed it. It’s Steph Gilmore.
The six-time world champ is currently gunning for number seven heading into Maui. If she clinches it, she’ll cement herself as one of the most effortlessly dominant competitive surfers of all time. And when we say effortless, we mean it. Steph’s style and grace on all manner of surf craft (from thrusters to twinnies to single fins) are unmatched. They’re also incredibly distinctive. Even if Roxy didn’t tell us who it was here that got the animated treatment courtesy of filmmaker Masanobu Hiraoka, the hand jive trim at 00:27 is a dead giveaway.
All hail Steph.
