KOBIE Enright continues to prove she has the credentials to be one of the brightest new talents in the women’s surf ranks with the teenager winning one of the first big major events of the year on Sunday.
The Tweed Heads surfer went one better than her runner-up placing to best mate and former world junior champion Macy Callaghan a year ago with her finals victory at the Carve Pro World Surf League Qualifying Series 1000 event at Maroubra.

Enright’s goal is to surf alongside the likes of world champions Tyler Wright, Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons on the women’s world tour in 2019.
Her dream is to have Callaghan, who was a wildcard at her first World Tour event in 2017, alongside her on the championship tour.

“It would be great to do it with a mate, it would be a hell of a ride,’’ Enright said.
On Sunday Enright beat Central Coast 15-year-old Molly Picklum for the Carve Pro crown.
The men’s event, which is part of the NSW Pro Surf Series, was won by Cronulla’s Shane Campbell who beat Northern Beaches surfer Harley Ross in his final.
