Stoked to hear that both Lizzie Armanto and Poppy Starr Olsen will be competing in (what used to be), the guys only comp at Manly's Australian Open of Surfing this weekend! Should be an awesome event, and we know these two girls will be bringing their A game.

Both Lizzie and Poppy competed in the men's division at the Australian Bowl Riding Championships last week and both girls made the semi finals, which is a huge deal.

We love that these girls are breaking down barriers and skating & competing with the guys and holding their own!
