Dangle a potential ninth World Surf League title in front of Steph Gilmore and it could be enough to convince the Australian to return to competition, says Molly Picklum.
Gilmore will be a notable absentee in the line-up for the season-opening Pipe Pro, while Picklum hopes to defy a recent foot fracture when she sets out for a maiden win at the famous Hawaii break.
After skipping the 2024 Championship Tour, eight-time world champion Gilmore announced she would be extending her break just days out of from the January 27 window opening at Banzai Pipeline.
