Carlsbadistan surfer Cori Schumacher, 31, won the longboard division in the Tidal 9 Women’s Pipeline Pro this week on the North Shore of Oahu, according to a story in the Honolulu Advertiser. It was her first time surfing Pipe on a longboard.
“It’s what I expected — it’s difficult, but still a lot of fun,” said Schumacher, 31. “But what this contest is doing is showing other girls that it can be done. You’re going to start seeing a lot more women out there, and the performance level is going to skyrocket.” . . .”The spirit of the event was the most important thing,” she said. “And it benefitted the Girl Scouts of Hawai’i, so you can’t go wrong with that.”
Congrats, Cori. Nice work. We’re stoked, but not all that surprised.
