Which surfer won six consecutive women's world titles from 1998 through 2003?

Layne Beachley won six consecutive women's world titles from 1998 through 2003.

The Australian began her uninterrupted championship run in 1998 and continued it for six seasons. She added another world title in 2006, giving her seven overall. That total made Beachley one of the defining figures in the history of women's professional surfing.

Her six-year streak is distinct from the record for most total women's world titles, which is held by Stephanie Gilmore with eight. Beachley also became known for her powerful rail surfing and competitive consistency during an era when women's professional surfing was expanding internationally.

Beachley was born in Sydney in 1972 and was inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame. The annual Layne Beachley Classic at Manly Beach was named in her honor, linking her career to one of Australia's best-known surf locations.
