Australian longboarding’s female dynamo, Chelsea Williams, went one better on her result last year to take second place in the 2008 Roxy Surf Jam, which counts as the ASP Women’s Longboarding World Title.

In small waves at France’s Biarritz, the winner was Hawaiian Joy Magelssen, who ALB readers may remember from two great photos we ran of her at Noosa back in Issue #40. The other semi-finalists were last year’s winner, Jenny Smith, and another USA surfer, Leah Dawson.
