Stephanie Gilmore has won the world surfing title for the seventh time in her career, equalling the record of wave great Layne Beachley.
Gilmore clinched the record-equalling title in the season-ending Maui Pro event after American Lakey Peterson made an early exit.
"This is so, so special. It's unbelievable," Gilmore said.
"It is an honour to sit beside you, Layne. To equal you is such an honour."
More to come.
