SALLY FITZGIBBONS

Sally Fitzgibbons website sums her up in five words:

BEAUTIFUL. ATHLETIC. GENUINE. SMART. DEDICATED.

and we can think of no better way to describe her.

The Gerroa based 19-year-old mega star was always destined for a successful sporting career.

Fitzgibbon has established herself as one the world’s best up-and-comers, taking out the ISA World Titles and the ASP World Junior Championship.

Sassy Sally hit the surfing circuit in the World Qualifying Series (WQS) in the hope that she would be able to secure a spot on the 2009 ASP World Tour. Sally did just that. She was the fastest surfer ever, man or woman to qualify for the following year’s ASP

World Tour after she claimed a string of massive results in the first half of the year.

Sally’s first year competing against the sports elite had it’s ups and downs but she still managed a top five finish that included a runner up spot in the final of the Gidget Pro at Sunset Beach.

“A top five finish for a rookie is rare, Sal would have taken some valuable lessons from her rookie season and after getting familiar with some of the waves on tour she’ll be a threat this year, her surfing is definitely world class.” Comments two-time ASP
World Champ Mick Fanning.

After a strong rookie year Sal will go into the 2010 season well prepared and ready to challenge three-time-world champ Steph Gilmore and a long list of other worthy contenders.
