Bianca Valenti and Alisha Gonzalves have conquered the Open and Junior divisions of the 2012 SeaHawaii Womens Pro, at Pipeline, Hawaii. The female surfing contest got underway in the gnarliest conditions ever, in the history of the event. Stormy conditions delayed the competition until the last day of the holding period and surfer girls had to bare with whatever conditions were available. “Not to much to pick and choose from in storm surf, I was just happy with my equipment, and was fortunate”, said Valenti. Unfortunately, there were not the most ideal Pipe conditions. Four-to-six feet Hawaiian scale waves, winds coming in from all directions and a ripping current throughout the day led all women to a very challenging task out in the lineup. “I just gave it my all out there, not much you can do with those chocolate barrels. It was a work out but I am happy to keep the trophy home” exclaimed Gonzalves. “We were very lucky that we were able to finish the contest due to the crazy stormy conditions. Thanks to the water patrol, Aloha Lifesaving, they made this contest happen giving rides to the ladies out to the lineup between each heat”, said contest director Betty Depolito.
