"In two years time she’ll be also better than any male surfer on the planet."
Four months after cementing her place in surfing lore after a ten-point ride at Snapper Rocks that officially ended a forty-year perception that women couldn’t ride tubes on their backhand, the Texas-born and newly-minted Canadian Erin Brooks has won the Fiji Pro, competing in her first CT eventI as a wildcard.
Erin Brooks had a tough run to the final. She had to mow through the world number one, four and five-rated surfers, Caity Simmers, Molly Pickles and Tatiana Weston-Webb to take the crown and the hundred gees.
“Erin Brooks is on a pathway to destiny,” said the former tour surfer turned commentator Richie Lovett. “She was ruthless.”
Newly retired Kelly Slater, meanwhile, acted as board caddy to Erin Brooks.
“I feel so thankful to the Lord,” said Erin Brooks, a Christian, after her win.
Surf fans were uniform in their praise.
“She’d beat many men on tour with surfing like that. Mind blowing.”
“I’m sorry but this girls is leagues ahead of every other girl with style. She rips.”
In 2 years time she’ll be also better than any male surfer on the planet. This is a talent of which the world has yet to witness.”
Erin Brooks moved from Texas to Hawaii when she was nine, surfed Teahupoo at eleven, was taking off on ten-foot Sunset peaks at thirteen and was the youngest ever competitor invited to surf in the Padang Padang Cup.
In the men, meanwhile, Griffin Colapinto, a protege of Matthew McConaughey who shattered Gabriel Medina’s 2024 world title dream yesterday, beat Bali’s Rio Wanda to win.

Texas born, Hawaii raised.
Canadien.
Disingenuous.
Wrap yourself in that flag and we know you don’t know shit about your religion
Time for Lisa Anderson to kidnap her.
Why are some Americans so triggered by this. She’s been on team Canada for like 3 years. Get over it
Erin said herself when she was younger she seen kids with a maple leaf on their boards and she asked her Dad if she could have one and he said you had to Earn it. Erin also said she feels more “Canadian” regardless of where she was Born or raised. If she stayed patient she could of made the Olympic team for the US but she has always Flown the Flag for Canada. Why are so many Americans Trigged by this? because someday she will be the Worlds Greatest Female Surfer and she isn’t American as Apple Pie. She can also go toe to toe with a lot of Male Surfers.

How’s Pauly’s cum taste?
you guys share dick pics?
OkOk yeah Erin Brooks is gnarly. Jesus blood flowing in her veins, but Id say better than any male in two years is a lofty unrealistic claim. Sierra Kerr is close on her tail and Caitlin has better style. The rivalry will be of epic proportions…. I can definitely say that Erin, Caitlin and Sierra make me watch female heats now🙌
Ask them!
I guess Erin competes for Canada and has a passport by virtue of her father’s passport, and because Surf Canada lobbied on her behalf. But she’s seems to be from Texas and Hawaii.
Only because they thought that was the easiest way to get her to the Olympics. Her family has never lived in Canada. She is American as apple pie. Oh yeah her granddad was born in Canada. Doesn’t live there now though
Because if she was Muslim and had thanked Allah, you’d be here flapping your bigoted gums the same way, right?
The fact that the mere mention of God gets you worked up has me looking forward to her mentioning Him at every given opportunity.
Because Jesus 🙏 loves you ❤️
Just needs to lose an arm.

”oh Canada, Our home and native land…….” 🎶
Stop the fucking dribble.
2 years time she will be better than she is now.
The gender agenda, the replacement theory 😂🤮
Looks like Griff’s a lock for the Title.
Those waves today looked a lot like lowers lefts
