MULTIPLE world champion Stephanie Gilmore has no plans to retire despite Surfing Australia nominating her into its Hall of Fame.

Gilmore said she was honoured by her induction - a feat usually reserved for retired athletes - but it would not force her out of the water anytime soon.

"I always feel like these awards are premature for myself because I'm nowhere near retiring," said Gilmore, who won the first of her five world titles when just 19.

"But it is very flattering and I love that my achievements in surfing are being recognised on larger scales."

Just 25, Gilmore has repeatedly indicated she will surf on "until it is no longer fun" with many believing the Australian champion will match, and then surpass, Layne Beachley's extraordinary record of seven world titles.

Gilmore will be officially inducted as the 35th member of the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame in Sydney on Wednesday at a function where she is also expected to be crowned Female Surfer of the Year.

Gilmore has also been nominated as a finalist in the Action Sports Star category of the upcoming Laureus Sports Star awards.

Fellow world champion Joel Parkinson is expected to be named Male Surfer of the Year after winning his maiden world title in Hawaii in December.
