Sofia Mulanovich Wins At Sunset Beach

Former ASP World Champion Sofia Mulanovich won the Roxy Pro Hawaii at Sunset Beach. If the mens world title race is over, the womens will be undecided until the last event of the year. Stephanie Gilmore had a chance to take the title home to Australia, but failed and now there are only 101 points separating her from Sofia Mulanovich .

Sofia Mulanovich On Her Win And World Title Chances

“It’s pretty amazing, I really never thought of a World Title coming here,” Mulanovich said. “I just wanted to have fun, surf wave by wave, and just have a good contest. But now it’s on, it’s so on!”

“I’m just stoked,” Mulanovich said. “Sunset can be such a perfect wave. I really want to thank Rochelle Ballard for helping me out with my board choice, she pushed me to use that board and it really paid off. Thanks to everyone who helped me out, my boyfriend who was my caddie and my longtime sponsor Roxy for another great event.”

And Stephanie Gilmore?

“It will keep it interesting,” Gilmore said. “It’s definitely going to be a hard task to win the World Title, both Sofia and Silvana are closing in on the gap extremely fast.
