Peru's Sofia Mulanovich won the
first place at Movistar Peru Classic 2009, which is the 5th of 7th competitions leading to the ASP Women's World Tour.
Movistar Peru Classic culminated in offshore three-to-four foot (1 - 1.5 meter) waves at Lobitos today, and delivered all the drama and action the fans had been waiting for.
In a hotly disputed competition, the Peruvian surfer beat Stephanie Gilmore, currently the world's N° 1 in her category.
Mulanovich finally managed to post an impressive 15.00 out of a possible 20, meanwhile Gilmore did 14.74.
“This feels so good. I have always wanted to win this event here, in Peru,
in front of my friends and family and in good waves, so this is a dream come true,” said “La Gringa,” as she is known.
