In a 2008 interview with Surfing magazine (that I can't seem to find online), a 20 year old Stephanie Gilmore talked about how parents would come up to her and thank her, usually because these parents' daughters had exchanged their Miley Cyrus posters for posters of Gilmore. She also talked about all she had accomplished, and the opportunities surfing had given her, except there was one thing, she'd never been on a date. Interviewer Travis Ferre (who is also the magazine's editor) decided to make the interview into a "date" so Gilmore could also knock that off her to-do list.
It was a cool interview, especially in a magazine that is, let's face it, totally sexist. Also, Gilmore is a great role model. She seems comfortable in her own skin while feeling out a world filled with fame a success. She's the kind of girl you'd want to hang out in the lineup with.
Here's a newer interview with Gilmore.
