STEPHANIE
GILMORE

Australian Stephanie Gilmore, winner of eight world titles (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2018 & 2022) has passed fellow Australian Layne Beachley’s seven-title record. Stephanie was born and raised in northern New South Wales, Australia and has dominated women’s professional surfing since she entered the scene in 2007 - winning her first world title as a rookie, followed by three consecutive world titles - an accomplishment no other surfer has achieved in the history of men’s or women’s surfing. Stephanie has also been awarded both the Laureus World Sports Award in 2010, considered the most prestigious award in action sports worldwide, and the ESPN ESPY for Best Female Action Sports Athlete in 2011 and 2013. She works with the Couer de Foret foundation, implementing water wells in Senegal, and has been a longtime supporter of World Vision, sponsoring children in Kenya and Ethiopia. In 2018, Stephanie along with Lisa Andersen, Rell Sunn, and Joyce Hoffman were honored with SHACC’s “Making Waves” award for their commitment, leadership and excellence in inspiring female surfers throughout the world. In 2024 she decided to take a year off from the World Tour.
