Tributes flood in for Bronte Macaulay after Australian surfing rocked by tragic death Surfing by 11th May 2021 7:32 AM World champion Steph Gilmore led an outpouring of support for fellow surfer Bronte Macaulay, who lined-up in her semi-final at the Margaret River Pro on Monday just a day after the tragic death of her brother. The surfing community threw its arms around Macaulay and her entire family after confirmation her brother, Jack, also a surfer, had passed away over the weekend. Macaulay suited up and took on Brazilian Tatiana Weston-Webb, who won their semi-final and then defeated seven-time world champion Gilmore in the final to claim the crown.
