Anytime one of the top amateurs in the world gets the biggest win of their career, they are certainly up for this honor. Courtney Conlogue did just that this past July in front of her hometown crowd at the Hurley U.S. Open of Surfing. Courtney confiscated the title from defending champ Malia Manuel in the final with her precisely executed backhand in one of the best contests ever held in Huntington Beach. “I’m going to remember this one forever and I’ve got my own piece of the pier for life,” Courtney said after her huge victory. This makes her the second youngest U.S. Open champ ever (behind Malia) and puts a huge mark of validity on her young career – as if she even needed one.
As if that wasn’t enough, Courtney decided to top it all off with two gold medals at the Billabong ISA World Surfing Games recently. Courtney’s victory helped lead her USA team to it’s first team gold medal since 1996 while cementing her as one of the top female surfers in the entire world at a very young age.

Some of the most powerful, explosive, balanced surfing I have ever seen by a young lady. You are witnessing the beginning of possibly the most dominant womens surfer of the future.

She’s good, no doubt, and as competitive as all get outl, but her style’s not going to match up well against Carissa, Sally and Steph at bells, superbank etc. I see her as a top 5er eventually, but not more.

Well, for now we will let the results do the talking. All I know is, I know who is holding the trophy for the U.S. Open. Oh…and how about the gold medal at the ISA in Costa Rica. Thats right…lets forget the talk and look at results instead….BOOM!!!!

no argument Scooby. She’s a very good surfer and on quite a roll. I’d be slower, however, to peg her as the most dominant surfer of her era. Carrisa’s won in Hawaii, finaled on the CT etc. Sally won the QS in record time last year and Steph’s still just a young pup herself. Time will tell.

Why can’t everyone just enjoy when someone does well rather than stick out their own chest. What have you done Real Stu?
