Gilmore's return to the surfwear brand comes as the Australian star enjoys a year's sabbatical away from the world tour.Picklum is at the forefront of the new wave in the women's competition and she wants to improve on last year's runner-up result when the Rip Curl Pro starts on Tuesday at Bells Beach."The thing I take most out of Steph, obviously she's really competitive and she would have some crazy knowledge in the jersey, but I just think how cool and calm she is.
"The fact she can say that is bigger than any world title she's won — that's more what I pick her brain about and that's what inspires me the most about her.""The surf industry and the way it's looked, it's been a tricky situation for a lot of surfers, male or female," she said.
