Saturday, 18th February 2012, Ehukai Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii -In an attempt to retain her world title at the end of last year, she went for an air roll spin over dry rocks and injured herself so badly she had to be helped out the water and could not surf for a month. Now, fully recovered, Isabela Sousa, the 2010 world champion from Brazil, won the Women's 2012 IBA Pipe Challenge today, in fun three to four foot waves. "It's my first final here at Pipe and it's my first win here. It's pretty incredible. I'm so happy", said Sousa.
En route to the final the bubbly Brazilian won every heat. In her semi-final heat- already in the lead- she took off on a set wave, raced into the bowl at Pipe and landed a technical air roll spin. She won her semi-final by such a margin her opponents needed to replace both of their scoring waves.
