Coco Ho Wins 2010 Supergirl Pro Junior

roxana.altamirano — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:51:49 +0000

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (August 14, 2010) – In true Supergirl style, Coco Ho (Oahu, HI) surfed over the competition in Oceanside, California today to win the 3rd Annual Supergirl Pro Junior. Sixteen of the world’s best 20-and-under female surfers took to the waves to battle for the richest purse in ASP Women’s Pro Junior history, with Ho claiming the $10,000 top prize and her second Supergirl Pro Junior title. Malia Manuel (Kauai, HI), Lakey Peterson (Santa Barbara, CA) and Leila Hurst (Kauai, HI) captured second, third and fourth place, respectively.

Official Results—2010 Supergirl Pro Junior
1) Coco Ho 16.26 points
2) Malia Manuel 15.17 points
3) Lakey Peterson 10.67 points
4) Leila Hurst 10.27points

Draped in the winner’s Supergirl cape, Ho said, “I’m so stoked. Now I have one cape for each arm. The Supergirl [Pro Junior] is the most fun event ever!”

An ASP Grade-4 surfing contest, the Supergirl Pro Junior is the second event in this year’s Supergirl Jam, the action sports industry’s only large-scale, all-female competition and lifestyle event designed to promote female empowerment, strength and independence. The first event, the Supergirl Am Jam, which honored female amateur skateboarders, occurred on June 30 at Skatelab, in Simi Valley, California.

Ho was the first Supergirl Pro Junior champion, winning the title in 2008 in Huntington Beach, California. She entered today’s competition hoping for a second win, but after fighting a cold all week and sizing up her competition, she knew it was going to be a hard fought battle.

“Malia [Manuel] started out the finals so strong, I thought she had it in the bag,” said Ho. “I’m so glad I got a few good waves.”

Manuel hit the water and didn’t waste any time catching some early waves, recording an 8.00 and 7.17 early on to claim the top spot. Her lead held until nearly the mid-point of the 30-minute heat, then Ho hit back-to-back waves of 7.53 and 8.73 – the highest score of the heat – to take the lead. Ho would stay at the top until the end, despite a late charge from Manuel. Needing an 8.27 to take reclaim first place, Manuel grabbed a late wave and rode it to the shore, but was only able to score a solid 6.67. For the second year in a row, she claimed the second place silver medal.

“The girls were really rippin’ today,” said Manuel. “Thanks to Supergirl for this opportunity. If you invite me back next year, I’m here!”

A first year addition to the competition was the Supergirl Shootout, two 10-minute heats designed for the remaining field to compete in an ‘expression session’ for a total of $1000. Carissa Moore (Honolulu, HI), the recent 2010 U.S. Open Women’s Champion, and Amy Nicholl (Drexel Hill, PA) each won $500, recording the highest scoring wave in the special events.

The next stop for the Supergirl Jam event series will be Venice Beach, California, on August 22. This event will feature the Snowboard Rail Jam, Skateboard Street and Inline Best Trick competitions starting at 12:30 p.m. All the action will be webcast on a host of major web sites including FoxSports.com, GrindTV.com, Supergirl.com and Supergirljam.com, the official online destination for the 2010 Supergirl Jam.

The entire Supergirl Jam event series will be broadcast nationally in November as part of event producer ASA Entertainment’s action sports block on Fox Sports Net and FUEL TV.

Salt Lake City’s Brooke Whipp Wins Supergirl Am Jam!

roxana.altamirano — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:54:19 +0000

Twenty-five of the country’s best amateur female skateboarders came together this afternoon at SKATELAB in Simi Valley, Calif. to compete in the first event of the 4th Annual Supergirl Jam series, the Supergirl Am Jam. After trick-filled heats that left even the judges applauding, Brooke Whipp of Salt Lake City, UT rode away with the title and qualified to compete with the female pros in the Supergirl Jam Skateboard Street contest on August 22 at Venice Beach.

The 2010 Supergirl Jam event series, the industry’s only large-scale, all-girls action sports competition, features more than 100 of the world’s top female action sports athletes competing in surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and inline skating and is designed to celebrate female strength, independence and empowerment. The Supergirl Am Jam is the first event in this year’s series and highlighted some of the sports’ emerging skateboarding talent. It was added to the Supergirl Jam series last year to not only showcase the top amateur skaters in the U.S., but to also continue the progression of female action sports.

After today’s preliminary rounds, the field of competitors was reduced to 12 young ladies with Whipp finishing the early session and entering the finals in fourth place. Starting with a clean slate, the final 12 competitors were given a one-minute individual run and then showcased their best tricks during an eight-minute jam session.

Making what the event announcer termed a “silent attack”, Whipp cleanly executed trick after trick, but it was her kick flip down the turf gap which most impressed the judges and clinched the title.

“This feels amazing – it feels great!” said Whipp. “It’s so awesome to see so many of the girls here. I never see this many girls skating at home. But, put them all together – they’re so good!”

Abisha Alshebaiki, Supergirl Jam and X Games veteran, judged the contest and was surprised at the level of the competition. “I was so shocked. Samarria’s [Brevard] (Riverside, Calif.) trey-flip down the turf gap – that’s a trick you see guys do! Now I feel like I have to step it up because thanks to events like this, these ladies are progressing so quickly.”

The 2010 Supergirl Jam event series continues with the Supergirl Pro Junior Surf contest at Oceanside Beach Pier in Oceanside, Calif. on August 14 and concludes one week later on August 22, when the skateboard street, snowboard and inline skate pros will compete in the finale event of the Supergirl Jam at Venice Beach.

All of the Supergirl Jam events are free to spectators and expect to play before more than 100,000 fans. CBS, Fox Sports Net (FSN) and FUEL TV will combine to air more than eight hours of national television coverage about the event this fall.
