Sally Fitzgibbons

 When it comes to the Woman's World Surfing Championships Australia is well represented, with a total of six beaut sheilahs carrying the Aussie flag. So yours truly thought it was time we had a gander at some of these sheilahs, starting with who I reckon is the best one of them the legendary Sally.
Sally Fitzgibbons is without doubt one of our best chances of taking the World Championship Trophy back to our island, with coming second for three years and third last year means she's just one step away from that chalest moment. 
 
 This 24 year old surfie grew up in the little New South Wales coastal town of Gerroa, but her best victory has been on the Torquay sands of Bells Beach which she has been lucky enough to ring that bell twice so far during her short career.
 
 










 Hear in Australia were all hoping this is the year that she takes away the silver wear, and so far this year she has started well after winning the RIO WOMENS PRO in the 'Barra Da Tijuca' in beautiful downtown Rio de Janeiro , Brazil.














She has a bunch of ripper sponsors with mobs like Roxy, Garnier, and the superb Surfboards Firewire and she is on the team RED BULL!


 This beaut young aussie was a champion as she was growing up as she became the ASP World Junior Champion 2007, then followed it up with becoming the ISA World Champion 2008.







 She has done a bit of modeling and I'd say she'd be doing heaps more after she hangs up the togs, and in this case she has already started hanging up some!






 But Sally's a beaut ambassador for not just surfing in general but also for Australia, a young bright sheilah with the world at her sea-salted feet.
