A special
evening featuring three female world surfing champions and the original
Gidget surfer girl will be hosted by Surf World Gold Coast on Wednesday, 24
March 2010 from 6.00-8.00pm.
The Divas of Surfing evening brings together four women who occupy
significant places in surfing history: Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, Phyllis
O'Donell, Layne Beachley and Stephanie Gilmore.
Kathy Kohner Zuckerman was the original Gidget surfer girl and was once
named the seventh most influential surfer in history.
Phyllis O'Donell was the winner of the first ever World Surfing
Championships in 1964. At a time when the sport was dominated by men,
Phyllis was a trailblazer for future generations of female surfers.
Layne Beachley has achieved a record-breaking career having won a record
seven world titles, including an amazing six titles in a row from 1998-2003.
The first rookie to win an ASP world title in 2007, Stephanie Gilmore has
become the dominant force in women's surfing. She has won the last three
world championships and is probably the most recognisable female surfer in
the world today.
The Divas of Surfing event will feature addresses from all four surfing
divas as well as canapés and refreshments.
Tickets must be pre-purchased and are available for $35 from Surf World Gold
Coast at Tomewin Street, Currumbin or by phoning (07) 5525 6380.
