Two-time world champion defeats Simmers in women’s finalMamiya first surfer in 19 years to win successive Pipeline events
Australia’s Tyler Wright has made surfing history, becoming the first woman to win Hawaii’s iconic Pipe Pro event twice as she snapped her title drought. The two-time world champion beat American defending world champion Caitlin Simmers in a low-scoring final on Sunday (AEDT) at Banzai Pipeline.
Wright won the first women’s Pipe Pro in 2020 and Simmers took out the event a year ago. Simmers was shut down on a wave with a minute left, and Wright won the opening round of the season 7.70 to 3.94.
