2007 BILLABONG GIRLS PRO CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED TODAY

PRAIA DA TIRIRICA, Brazil (Saturday, Aug. 25, 2007) – Just three heats remain in the 2007 Billabong Girls Pro Itacaré, which will see a new champion crowned before noon, today.

Following an explosive day of ASP Women's World Tour action on Friday, which saw the ASP ratings lead deadlock between Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) and Chelsea Hedges (AUS) broken with just Gilmore advancing into the Semifinals, four girls remain to contest for the 2007 Billabong Girls Pro Crown.

Featuring in Semifinal 1 is new ASP ratings leader Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) who takes on 'giant slayer' Samantha Cornish (AUS), who was responsible for eliminating Hedges in the Quarterfinals; followed by Brazilian sensation Silvana Lima (BRA) who meets World No. 4 Rebecca Woods (AUS) in Semifinal 2.

The winner of each Semifinal heat will advance into the 30-minute Final scheduled for 10h15 (local time).

The 2007 Billabong Girls Pro Champion will pocket US$ 12 000 and 1,200 ASP ratings points, while the runner-up takes home US$7000 and 972 points.
