post Vancouver: Torah Bright on her Olympic gold

You're probably hyper aware that Roxy's perma-happy, super talented Aussie snowboarder Torah Bright won gold in the Women's Halfpipe at the Vancouver Winter Olympics last week. However, not all of us were able to catch it live. And while Shaun White and the Men's pipe contest is all over TV, the women's, although no less exciting, is less so...

But don't fret: after some careful hunting I've managed to track down a tonne of interviews with the Roxy star - unsurprisingly, most from Australia.

A couple of weeks ago I was at one of the funnest contests I've had the pleasure of attending since the French all-female comp Intergirlaktik sadly called it quits: the Sista Sessions in Mayrhofen, Austria. Super mellow, encouraging and supportive, the event was sponsored by Skull Candy, Billabong and Vans, and organised by TTR PR Whizz Viola Burnett. 

Read full report, see images & watch the event video after the jump...

She's already ripped Micronesia this year, but with contest season about to kick off, three times ASP World Champion surfer Stephanie Gilmore has been packing in as many freesurfing trips as possible - this time heading to Mexico with fellow Y Chromosone owners Alana Blanchard, Coco Ho, Paige Hareb and Megan Abubo. And Surfer magazine's Janna Irons was kind enough to document the whole thing on video - from Steph surfing while drinking beer, plus loads of progressive new-school surfing from the younger riders.

This sneaked under my radar, but after their inspiring surf road trip to Morocco last winter, Roxy and Smog Films released a short film about the North African adventure. And perfectly timed, just as pro surfers Candice O'Donnell, Kassia Meador, Jen Smith, Sally Fitzgibbons and Lee Ann Curren rolled into the point break, right hander heaven of Maroc, so did some huge swells. 

Watch the film in full after the jump...
