Tuesday is a very special day for the WSL organization with the formal launch of WSL PURE, its new philanthropic arm dedicated to giving back to the ocean.

On a bright sunny day at Duranbah beach, with her family huddled together to support her, Caroline Marks' first Championship Tour Final and first Championship Tour event victory arrived with a wave of tears. "I'm really emotional right now," said Marks on the beach after outlasting 3x World Champ Carissa Moore in a back-and-forth final at the Boost Mobile Pro Gold Coast. "I can't believe it. I'm speechless. It's incredible to be a part of this sport. It's actually my Dads birthday today.

"I hated myself because I didn't think you could be World Champion and gay at the same time. I needed to dream bigger."
