Ever Wonder How Gabriela Bryan Became World #1?

Gabby Bryan is a softly-spoken executioner. And she’s in the best form of her life.

Not to oversimplify, but no one on tour can go rail-to-rail with her right now. She’s taken over the Carissa Moore role — dominant, inevitable, terrifying when the mood aligns.

Now, halfway through the season, she’s wrapped in yellow. She’s already won more heats than she did in all of 2024. Her win rate has nearly doubled. If they gave out a mid-year trophy for ‘most improved,’ it’d be under her arm, receipt still warm.

Still unconvinced? Watch above. Four minutes of public discipline, filmed and stitched together by Hayden Garfield from her CT-winning stint in El Salvador. A short syllabus, but an important lesson.
