With a healthy swell marching north through the South Pacific earlier this week a bunch of the world's top women made the wise decision to get to Tavarua early to get some fineuning done before next week's Outerknown Fiji Women's Pro. Courtney Conlogue, Sally Fitzgibbons, Stephanie Gilmore, Carissa Moore, Coco Ho and Bethany Hamilton were among the early arrivals who've been scoring, along with a handful of Tavarua regulars.

The annual event is a favorite of almost every surfer on Tour, so it doesn't take much convincing to get them over there. That said, some had to make the trek out to Cloudbreak from the mainland, given
that the resort is usually booked up around this time. The waiting period for the event doesn't start until Sunday, May 28, with most competitors set to check in on Saturday.

Naturally, the crew at Surfline, the official surf forecaster of the WSL Championship Tour, was all over this one. They've got a beautiful photo gallery from this week's super session starring the world's top women. It's worth checking out.
