Simmers also led the way at the 2020 Super Girl Surf Pro, a WSL specialty event, along with Lakey Peterson to win the overall event and now returns to the jersey in her third QS event and looks to play spoiler for those looking to clinch their Challenger Series spots.

Kirra Pinkerton
The San Clemente, California, competitor found a way to still get the waves of her life throughout 2020/21 spending months at a time in Indonesia. Pinkerton, 18, started her 2020 QS campaign in amazing form and at No. 2 on the overall rankings before events came to a halt. Now, confirmed as a 2020 Challenger Series competitor, she looks to pick up where she left off and it all starts at the Jack's Surfboards Pro.
