The Divas of Surfing

Surf World Gold Coast is presenting a special "Divas of Surfing" evening featuring four women who occupy significant places in world surfing history:

1.  Kathy Kohner Zuckerman – A young female surfer known as Gidget, the subject of a book, TV series and movies, heralded the rise of surfing into popular culture.  Kathy Kohner’s life on the the beach at Malibu was the inspiration for the 1957 book which started it all.

2.  Phyllis O’Donell - In 1964 Phyllis O’Donell won the first ever world championship in women’s surfing and was rewarded with $250, a surfboard and numerous packets of cigarettes.  Nevertheless, at a time when the sport was dominated by men, Phyllis was a trailblazer for future generations of female surfers.

3.  Layne Beachley - Since becoming a professional surfer at the age of 16, Layne Beachley has achieved a record-breaking career . Layne has won a record seven world titles, including an amazing six titles in a row from 1998-2003.  She has also appeared in numerous surf movies and is a successful businesswoman.

4.  Stephanie Gilmore - Since winning her first professional event as a 17 year old, 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.

This event will feature addresses from all four of these surfing legends as well as canapes and refreshments.  It promises to be a unique unforgettable evening for surfing aficionados.
