So after what can only be described as an incredibly challenging 2011. Steph bounced back in 2012, stronger, fitter, more confident and what was most daunting for her fellow competitors, more determined. From the opening event of the season at the Roxy Pro on the Gold Coast she served notice to everyone watching that the new and improved Stephanie Gilmore had one thing in mind, regaining the world title.

Her ability to enjoy a life away from surfing (and particularly competition) and then switch into a completely driven competitive machine for events, resulted in her winning a 5th world title at the Roxy Pro in France! So now, 8 months since regaining the world title, Steph is more determined than ever to hold onto her rein. If you thought she was on fire last year, just wait and see what she has in store for 2013! Get excited about the 2013 Gold Coast Quiksilver & Roxy pro with this #5STEPH Teaser Clip....

Imagine sitting atop your balcony over looking the Byron park with its tall trees reaching towards the clear blue sky. Beyond the groups of social picnickers is Byron's Main Beach stretching out towards The Pass, onto the Cape Byron Lighthouse standing at the most Easterly part of Oz.

Down on the surf coast this is the time of year when people go holiday crazy. The Streets are buzzing & there’s not a car park in sight! One of the things we love about January/February is the Night Jar market, it takes place ever Thursday 4-10pm.

The best time to go, when the air is balmy and the sea breeze has died down!

We took the Avalon Dress for a night out on the grassy knoll. Sipping on Sangria while enjoying a plate of MoMo’s (amazing Tibetan dumplings). Followed by a stroll through the stalls and art stands accompanied by music humming in the background, sending off the summer day with a soulful tune.
