Molly Picklum, The New World No. 1, Will Be Rocking Yellow In Portugal – This Is How She Got It Done

Molly Picklum has locked down the World No. 1 spot and Yellow Leader’s Jersey after finishing the Hawaiian leg in unbelievable fashion. Locking down the first 10 of the year in a semifinal heat with Bettylou Sakura Johnson, then taking a runner-up finish to Caitlin Simmer’s in the final. Then, going back-to-back at the Hurley Pro Sunset Beach and winning the event with the heaviest turn in women’s surfing history.

After two events in paradise, the Championship Tour turns up the heat with a cold water clash in Portugal. Before an iconic European backdrop and a packed beach, the tour will throw down in Peniche’s shifting ramps and detonating barrels.

So beautiful it was such a big wave and such a big section you can really see how powerful that was and her legs were fully extended there and she just hung on for dear life just really love this angle here you can just really see that how thick

That lip is as she went up to hit it beautiful rainbow spray as Well this in this in my books is probably one of the best most critical terms that has been laid out by any of the women or them maybe in history of Sunset Beach actually when you look at just the disconnect there the size of the wi look at right on her heels an

Avalanche of white water I mean not just this event I’m going to say in the history of women’s surfing at Sunset Beach rical powerful committed these are just some of the words that I heard to describe that turn that you had during the heat I think kpo even said it might

Be the most critical turn ever executed in a women’s competition here at Sunset how would you describe it uh I describe it as throw a bunch of power into Sunset and hope for the absolute best consequential uh moment there and she just pulled it off little bit of a rib

On this one it’s already wedging across the face of this wave overhead on the first section nice sweeping Cy for Molly picklum foam climb punch on the hollow part of the wave we will make it official backto back Seasons your champion of the hurly pro Sunset Beach

Is Molly pick Molly early Pro Sunset Beach you’re the champ back to back backing it up it’s not a fluke I mean backing it up I was thinking of Tyler when she back to bells one off I didn’t think that stuff’s possible like what it’s just like you can’t

Predict it sunset’s crazy so this goes up right up there for me for sure well you’re big snap in your last te well it goes right up there with me I don’t think any one of my friends would have hit that section I mean that’s Sunset

You got to just commit and go for it and hope for the best and luckily on that one I made it otherwise I was dead I know it’s a long year but you’re now in the yellow Jersey yeah baby W yeah that was crazy but also too
