Wright, who lists destroying stuff as a hobby, did just that to the world's best surfers to take out the richest event on the ASP World Tour.

In the process, she smashed world champion Stephanie Gilmore's record as youngest winner on tour.

Gilmore, who was 17 when she won the 2005 Roxy Pro on the Gold Coast, helped carry 14-year-old Wright up the beach after she stunned Brazil's Silvana Lima with a 13.64-12.84 victory in the final.

"To have Steph and Jessi (Miley-Dyer) carry me up the beach was awesome," Wright said. "They are both my heroes.

"This is easily the best day of my life.

"I'm so stoked. I don't really have the words to describe it."

Wright's effort only enhanced the South Coast's reputation as a hotbed of women's surfing.

ISA junior World champion Sally Fitzgibbons, who is representing Australia in World Surfing Cup in Portugal, hails from Gerroa, only a couple of beaches north of Culburra.

The pair will link as the Australian team for the World Junior Championship next year after finishing one-two in the Australian Junior Pro series this year.

Wright started her dream run at Manly by winning the Oakley Trials last Thursday and didn't let up from that point.

Once in the main event, she beat world champion Gilmore twice in the space of a couple of days before scoring three wins yesterday to take out the $29,670 first prize.

Wright beat another Brazilian, Jacqueline Silva (14.17-12.83) in the quarter-final and No 4 ranked Amee Donohoe (14.17-10.00) in the semi-final.

"These are girls that all us grommets look up to and to just be competing with them (was) an honour," Wright said. "I had no expectations whatsoever this week for myself and I think that really working in my favour.

"This morning I got up and thought I could really do this (win the title)."

The natural-footer has been on a tear, qualifying for the prestigious World Junior Championships by winning the final Junior Pro event of the year at Bells Beach before going on her run at Manly.

"It's been an amazing two weeks," Wright said. "I think I am just going to go home and chill out and let it all sink in next."

Reality will set in the next couple of days when Wright returns to her her Year 8 classmates at St John the Evangelist High School in Nowra.

Boy, won't she have a story to tell.
