The winner of the women’s Billabong Pro Pipeline, Moana Jones Wong, has been awarded another wildcard entry into the Hurley Pro Sunset Beach, due to start on Friday.

The North Shore local, who took down two-time world champion Australian Tyler Wright in the semi-final and five-time world champion Hawaiian Carissa Moore in the final at Pipeline, was the first wildcard to win a Championship Tour (CT) event since Wright herself at Sunset Beach in 2010.
