The Inertia

Stephanie Gilmore is a living legend. She’s got eight world titles that span three decades. She’s won the most WSL events of any woman alive. Hell, she won a world title in her first season on tour.

She’s a little different than your average competitive surfer, though. She’s just got… something. A certain je ne sais quoi. More style than most; more grace with a mix of power and ease. She’s one of the best surfers to watch, isn’t she? Take the example above as more proof.

If there is a filmmaker in surf whose films mirror Steph’s je ne sais quoi, it’s Jack Coleman. So when he paired up with Stephanie to make Golden Fruit, a film that shows Gilmore surfing in California leading up to her eighth world title, it was bound to be good. And good it is.
