Surfed my first heat of 2011 today and got a win. There were a few nerves there but there always is in the first event of the year! My first round match up was against Laura Enever and Claire Bevilaqua in kinda tricky high tide conditions at Snapper. I managed to throw together a heat score of 16.03 and held the lead from beginning of the heat to the end so I'm stoked. Funny thing happened during the heat… well, not funny at all really… a shark was spotted just behind me as I flicked off one of

2011 has been a busy one so far. I've been training like a little maniac. Before the first event kicked off we had the ASP awards night where I was presented with the runner-up trophy. Congrats again to Kelly and Steph, amazing accomplishments for both. I'm looking forward to a big year. That first World Tour event win is yet to come so that's what I'm setting my sites on. The first event, the Roxy Pro, kicks off tomorrow and it looks like there could be fun little waves. I'm going to be

She finished the year at No. 2, entering her fourth final of 2010 after topping defending event champion Carissa Moore (HAW), in the Semifinals and took fourth place in the final. Despite being frustrated with not taking the event win, the Australian talent looks at the final as more valuable experience under her belt for next season.

Sally locked in the second highest wave score and heat total for the day to move into the quarter finals of the Cholos Women's Hawaiian Pro. When the day started there were three surfers still in the race for the Star Series Title (formerly WQS). Sally eliminated Courtney Conologue in her heat, leaving the sole contender team mate Laura Enever. When Enever failed to progress in the final heat of the day that left Sally with enough points to claim the ASP Women's Star Series for the second time.

Such tragic news about Andy. An amazing surfer and lovely human. I thought this photo tribute was beautiful. My thoughts are with Andy's family and friends.

Sally exited the Pantin Classic in Spain today after a priority interference call was controversially called against her early in the semi-final heat. After paddling for a wave Sally assumed that she lost priority and paddled deep away from her competitor. The beach commentator called that it was still a white priority so Sally assumed that it had not changed and she paddled back towards her competitor but still deep. The next wave came and Sally took off but noticed the other girl taking off

Just in case you missed it Sally top scored in the Celebrity Shoot Out on OneHD.

Sally retains a healthy ratings lead in the Star series as she moves on to Pantin, Spain for another 6 Star event before returning home.

The event ran very smoothly, contest directors picked the eyes out of the swell and we surfed two different locations on the Taranaki coastline. It was such a good

Sal has collected her best ever result as a World Tour surfer finishing second in the TSB Bank Women's Surf Festival in Taranaki. Sal was beaten by Hawaiian rookie Carissa Moore who saved her best for the final scoring a 9.33 and a 9.83 early in the heat. Sal collected some solid scores too but didn't find the waves that allowed the kind of moves that would see her into the lead. It was another strong result for Sally who was the form surfer through the earlier rounds. Leading up to the final
