Rip Curl has gotten themselves two new youngsters superstars, Gabriel Medina from Brazil and Bethany Hamilton from Hawaii to compete as wildcards in the 2011 Rip Curl Pro presented by FORD Bells Beach. Medina has competed against Mick Fanning twice last year, taking out the likes of Chris Davidson and CJ Hobgood before beaten by his idol, Fanning in round 3.
Hamilton is best known for her heroic comeback from a shark attack in 2003, and has been stunning the world ever since. Her spirit is high for this year’s competition, “This year especially, the Women’s Top 17 has a lot of new, young girls who are driven and competitive, and who have so much talent that they are pushing the level of Women’s surfing more and more”.
