The 2015 Women's Stand Up World Tour is set to get underway with the first event, the Turtle Bay Women's Pro, kicking off on the famed North Shore this week. Today has been called a lay day due to unfavourable winds, but keep an eye on the Waterman League event page for live coverage throughout the week.

For the first time since the women's tour began, there's a trials event set to precede the main event, a great sign of growing participation in the women's side of the sport.

Good luck to multiple Aussie champ Shakira Westdorp who'll be making her first assault on the SUWT.

Here's some pics from Mark Wilson (www.facebook.com/mark.wilson.984991?pnref=story) of the Shak shredding before heading over to Hawaii.


















(The men's Sunset Beach Pro is also set to run later in the week - but I'll put that into a different thread)

How good was that - 4th place with 5mins to go then moving up to take the win in the last minute - Champ!

How close were the scores for 2nd, 3rd & 4th - only 0.03 in it!!!

Congratulations Shak for narrowly edging into 2nd place!

FINAL RESULTS
1st Caroline Angibaud (FRA) 10.7
2nd Shakira (AUS) 8.10 (on a count-back)
3rd Izzi Gomez (USA) 8.10
4th Candice Appleby (USA) 8.07

Well done Shakira, that's unreal!!!
Is there anywhere we can watch a replay?
I'm a bit computer illiterate but can't seem to find it anywhere.
