Chelsea Georgeson

Aquatic Sports

Chelsea Georgeson, who now competes and is known as Chelsea Hedges, is an Australian surfer born on 15 October 1983. She began surfing at the age of 13 and rose through the professional ranks to claim the women's world title in 2005. She secured that championship by beating Brazil's Jacqueline Silva in the final of the season-ending event at Honolua Bay in Hawaii. Her world title makes her one of the notable Australian women to have topped the professional surfing tour, and she is remembered in the sport chiefly for that 2005 season and its decisive final against a Brazilian rival.
