WSL

At 20, the young surfer is already "set to go down in history" for a recent Pipe Masters win in Hawaii. But the WSL Championship tour kicking off today ...

Ms Donohoe said Picklum's win at the Vans Pipe Masters last year solidified her place as one of the best surfers in the world. "It's so good for all us younger girls to see that it is possible and that girls from these beaches have done it and made it to the world stage," she said. "Molly is a contender right now to be in the Olympic team depending on how she goes this year on tour," she said. "She's definitely leading the charge in the next generation of surfers coming through." Picklum has been described as "leading the charge in the next generation of surfers". The event at Pipeline marks another opportunity for the youngster to make her mark on the tour, after winning the invitation-only Vans Pipe Masters event at the same beach late last year.
