When you look good, your blonde and you can surf - oh yes, sorry guys, when your also a 17 year old female,
you can expect people to wave (
what a pun)
their cheque books at you.
Surf superstar Steph Gilmore has just signed a six-figure sponsorship deal to become the face of Australian surf gear giant, Rip Curl.
Back in March, she became the youngest ever winner of a women's WCT event as 2005 Roxy Pro WCT Champion.
The five-year contract with Rip Curl, who have been sponsoring her since she was 12,
will make Steph one of the highest-paid women surfers in the world. The deal is certain to reach seven figures when she wins some world titles.
