Canadian Teen Erin Brooks Officially World’S Best Female Tuberider After Winning Epic Vans Pipe Masters!
BeachGrit Dec 18:
Four months after competing in, and winning, her first-ever CT event at Fiji, and eight months after redefining backside tuberiding for women at Snapper, Erin Brooks has won the Vans Pipe Masters.
Erin, who is seventeen, won easy, real easy, beating the so-called Queen of Pipe, Moana Jones Wong, Bettylou Sakura-Johnson and Caity Simmers.
In a sharp break from WSL judging, Erin Brooks swung on an eight-foot closeout but was awarded sixteen points out of thirty, setting up her victory with one of the best waves of the contest.
After her Fiji win, Richie Lovett, former tour surfer and commentator, correctly prophecised,
“Erin Brooks is on a pathway to destiny. She was ruthless.”
As fifteen-foot sets stacked and shifted on the horizon and a devil wind tore it to hell, Nathan Florence, a harassed looking wisp of a man, cooly picked a couple of insiders and then wrapped it all up in a near-perfect first-reefer to win.
And win, like Erin Brooks, easy.
