Prior to last month's Billabong XXL Awards, Brazil's reigning queen big wave queen put together a guest correspondent spot for the Jim Rome Is Burning show. And while it's not exactly timely, we at ESPN Surfing are always stoked to see our stick-and-ball brethren paying attention to the accomplishments of surfing's bravest men and women. Good looking out, Jim -- we'll let you know when we put up our Super Bowl coverage next month.
