1989 champion
Pauline Menczer was a talented and fearless surfer who won the World Championship in ’93. Pauline broke barriers for women in the sport, proving that anything is possible with hard work and a never back down attitude.
“I just felt so proud that what we fought, for the women today are getting acceptance. there’s just one more step and that’s to have equal amounts of men and women. The way things are I don’t think it’s far off.”
