The ASP women's world title will be decided today on the beaches of Biarritz, France. Only two of the women competing this week are in the running now - Sally Fitzgibbon (Australia) and Carissa Moore (Hawaii) for the final title.The Roxy Pro event has been running all week, you can see the webcast here on the Roxy site. Round 4 of that competition is now today - I hope the weather is better than here in Dublin!

Heat 2: Carissa Moore (HAW) Vs Tyler Wright (AUS)

Australian Stephanie Gilmore is competing too, there's a moving interview with her over at ESPN on her recovery from that terrible attack in December. It's great to see her moving on from that.

Happy Friday everyone!

Holy cow. I was in tears reading that interview. I'm so glad she was determined to come back. She is setting a great example. She's a wonderful role model.

@Snowcather - a real inspiration. She's only 24 so I'm sure it will all come together again. And as you can see on Sat's post, she won the event!
