This last women's surfing contest at Snapper Rocks saw the dawn of a new era in women's surfing. Carissa Moore has completed a few steps started by Layne Beachly, and, we now have women that surf VERY well, in fact, so well a combined world tour may not be out of the realm of possibility.
For a bit of fun, have a look here:

Both Tyler Wright and Clarissa Moore, and Sally Fitzgibons surf VERY well.
Then compare with

While it's pretty clear Kelly Slater is in a class all his own, the gap has narrowed, more then ever.
When I was in Santa Cruz we had two women,
Jane McKenzie, and Brenda Scott that surfed much like Clarissa, but without the 360's.
