Kapalua News

Pretty, huh?

That’s Maui, baby.

Which is where Kapalua is located (of course).

And where the 10th Annual Billabong Pro Maui was held at Honolua Bay at our very own Kapalua Resort from December 8-20, 2008. (See Flickr for a bunch of great pics from the event.)

As a conclusion to the WCT Women’s World Title race, the Billabong Pro Maui dished out a prize purse of $85,000 and welcomed 17 of the best female surfers on earth.

It featured Australian Rebecca Woods, Brazilian Silvana Lima and many other wonderful surfer girls.

Two-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore won her first Vans Triple Crown by conquering the strong field and taking home $22,000 in prize money.

The event was free and anyone was welcome to attend.

You can learn more about the event and all that happened (with videos too!) at the Billabong Pro website.
