The nationally televised event is the largest female surf contest in the world, with 108 of the planet’s top pros competing. The fierce competition started early on Friday morning on the south side of the iconic Oceanside Pier, and by the afternoon the field was cut down to 64. Saturday's heats cut the field down to 16 for Sunday's rounds of finals.
The finals came down to a battle of Supergirl podium vets with Courtney Conlogue, the 2009 champion, facing Tatiana Weston-Webb, who took second place at last year’s Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro. Weston-Webb wowed the judges to capture the coveted pink Supergirl cape. Sage Erickson and Nikki Van Dijk tied for third.“Finally!” the 19-year-old Weston-Webb shouted as she was swarmed by fans after being named the winner. “Last year really made me want to win this year! Courtney is amazing, and for me to be here means the world to me. Now I have a lot of confidence going into the rest of this year.“
