We are extremely proud to announce that on the 6th of December our top Ambassador Stephanie Gilmore took top honours at the 42nd Annual SURFER Poll Awards along side Quiksilver's Kelly Slater!

 

“I am very excited about this year,” said Gilmore. “I was a little unsure of how it’d unfold, I wasn’t sure if I was going to come out on top because I didn’t win last year. I seriously had one of the best years of my life, and I guess everybody else thought that too. These awards are so important, because it’s the fans voting, so it means a lot.” - ASP International Press Release

“Every Christmas morning, after we had woken at the crack of dawn and raided our stockings, we would drive up the coast to Rainbow Bay, at Coolangatta, to meet our cousins,” says Stephanie. “Mum would always make rum balls. She never used to put so much rum in them – but she had upped the ante in recent years. Dad and I would spend most of the time checking the surf, wondering when it was polite to leave the party and go out and have a surf.”

When our big brother Quiksilver heard that celebrity chef Ludo Lefebvre would be hosting a pop-up restaurant in Hawaii featuring local flavors they brought in big wave charger and champion spearfisherman Mark Healey to catch the main ingredients.

 

As word spread about the project, fellow foodie and Quiksilver Women's Ambassador Steph Gilmore along with Pipeline charger Reef McIntosh jumped on-board giving Ludo a solid crew to accompany him around the Big Island’s North Kona Coast in search of Lobster, Crab, Uku and other local fish to be prepared, cooked and enjoyed.

No doubt most of you know that anything Monster Children puts out is going to be...different, quirky and sometimes, a little bit awkward! Just how we like it.
