She Rips: Everybody Loves Leila
By Alee ThompsonName: Leila Anuhea Hurst
Birth Date: August 17th, 1993
Sponsors: Billabong, Von Zipper, Vans, Local Motion and Sticky Bumps
Hometown: Kilauea, Kaua‘i
Home Break: Pinetrees & Kalihiwai
Five years ago one of the most talented surf teams in the world saw something in Leila Hurst. They saw a cute, blonde-haired, blue-eyed nine-year-old from Kaua‘i.

January 23, 2008 - Aside from having greasy noses, armpits that smell
like roadkill and an alarming disregard for their own lives by
continually busting my chops, the Volcom Oz grommets have been in good
form lately. After spending December in Hawaii soaking up the North

Carissa Moore: I think every woman on tour wants and believes that they can win a world title, otherwise they wouldn’t be competing at this level. Dad and I talked about the title a few times, but never more than using it as motivation. Sally was nipping at my heels the whole year and there was a placement shift halfway through where I was nipping at hers. It was so close that I never really could let my guard down, just had to keep my head focused and take everything one step at a time. When the seconds started counting down in the Steph-Sally semi in France and Steph was ahead, I think that was finally the moment that I let it all go. Read more...

Billabong Team Manager/Mentor to Keanu Asing
Freesurf: What was your life like before you became a team manager?
Rainos Hayes: Well, I grew up on the North Shore pretty much in the same place that I live now, kind of by Sunset Beach. I was a pro for a while and rode for Quiksilver from about 15 to 25 years old and had a limited amount of success.
