Getting To Know Tyler & Kirby Wright
Additional Info
Im sitting quite far down the point at Lennox waiting for a wide set and from a distance up near the peak I see a bikini clad ripper sending spray four to six feet off the lip of each top turn. Instantly I think it’s Tyler Wright but as she flies down the line I soon realise that it’s Tyler’s sister Kirby and she is ripping! As Kirby flies past and the next set wave lines up along the point, Tyler comes from around a deep section and proceeds to carve one of the most powerful forehand gouging top turns I have ever seen.
