Just got back from a trip to the Mentawai Islands. We surfed our way down the island chain and then back up in our eight days at sea. Surfing places such as Bintang's, Roxy's ( that's right; there is a wave named after the Roxy girls as they were the first ones to surf this particular wave, they were captained by a legendary Australian Captain named Albert) Pittstops and Rifles. We stopped off at many crazy cool islands to shoot in the new range of Roxy bikinis and clothing. Most Islands were

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.

An equal 5th place for Sally at the Billabong Azores Pro 6 Star WQS in 0.5m inconsistent waves. Usually known for its consistent swell, the Azores is currently experiencing a draught of a different kind. The event is in doubt of finishing for the men. 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.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Tuesday, August 3, 2010) – The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Women’s 6-Star US Open of Surfing presented by Hurley and Nike 6.0 saw decreasing swell this morning, and a rising tide not helping matters, as sets are in the two-to-three foot range and soft. Sally Fitzgibbons (Current World #2) had little trouble though, holding the top scoring wave and top scoring heat total for the second day in succession of the morning Round of 12 heats. Equalling

Just loaded some new images into the Photo section of the site for you to check out. One batch is from behind the scenes on the set of Blue Crush II. The other is from a night at the Rugby League In Oz a couple of weeks back. The St George Dragons, team I go for, invited me to a home game as a special guest. They gave me a VIP box for friends and family and I got to meet some of my footy heroes after the game. The Dragons won that night too which was a bonus. Life is grand. Hope you like the

I spent the last week in South Africa playing a small role in the sequel of the popular girls surfing movie Blue Crush. My sponsor is involved in the movie and organised the cameo role for me. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun as usual checking out behind the scenes and working with the cast and crew. It's going to be classic seeing it all play out on the big screen. Can't wait.

I had such an amazing time at the Red Bull Surfing Girls Only Camp before the Moviestar Peru Classic. The Red Bull camps are always hard work but also very rewarding.

As the women's tour hits the mid-way point, there's a tussle at the top. By Crissy Van Meter, ESPN Action Sports
The Movistar Peru Classic kicks off in San Bartolo, Peru on Saturday, setting the stage for the mid-way point of the Women's 2010 World Tour. After two events in Australia and one in New Zealand, things are looking remarkably similar to last year -- at least at the top of the rankings. Stephanie Gilmore, who won her third world title in 2009, remains the tour leader with only one

Top female surfers  Sally Fitzgibbons (World #2), Sofia Mulanovich (World #3), Maya Gabeira (Big Wave surfer) and junior surfer Nadja de Col are in good shape for their upcoming competitions after completing their stay at the Red Bull Surfing Girls Only camp.
The girls took part in five days of intensive training in from May 27 – June 1, with each surfer working on specific aspects of technique and nutrition on the beaches of Lima, Peru. The women also worked on aerials, continuing what they had

We caught up with Sal as she walked out the door bags in hand bound for Peru. We talked tour, training and other randomness with the current World Number 2...

Q: With nine stops on this year's tour and heading into event five we're at the halfway point. How you feeling?

A: I’m feeling the most comfortable I have felt on tour since I qualified. I'm enjoying all the travel and hanging out with my friends on tour. It's been so great having back-to-back events, I love competing and am really

Sally is on her way home from France after 2 ASP 6 Star events in Portugal and France. While these events don't count directly toward the ASP World Title race they do ensure re-qualification for the World Tour and are excellent training for the WT events.Finishing in Portugal with a 1st last week and a 5th place finish in Hossegor, Sally now leads the Women's ASP Star series by 1200 after 3 events.
The European events cap off a great start to 2010, after competing in 7 events this year Sally

Hey gang, I had an awesome time competing at the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic in Sydney last week and was stoked to finish second (Bloody Steph! Nah… good on her). I've compiled a few images from my hang in Curl Curl and you can view them here in my Gallery. Big thanks to Mark Watson and the ASP for the amazing photos. Hope you enjoy them.

With just under five minutes remaining

We have nine stops on our World Tour this year and event four – the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic – kicked off yesterday. The event was moved from the main site at Dee Why around the corner to Curl Curl where there was some slightly bigger and more consistent waves. It suited me because I'm staying with friends at a dreamy little spot at Curly. I got second in my first round heat, I wasn't too happy about it but I still progressed so I'll look to ramp things up in round 3. I want to send a

I'm back in Oz after finishing second in New Zealand. The next stop on this year's ASP Women's World Tour is the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic at Dee Why. Before it kicks off I thought I'd give you guys the lowdown on NZ. I had a great week over in Taranaki and New Zealand, it was such a beautiful place to have an event. 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

Sally will take on Carissa Moore in the final of the TSB Bank Women's Surf Festival. After another solid performance in the semi finals Sal was able to overcome an equally in form Chelsea Hedges. Tune in right now to watch Sal and Carissa battle it out live.

The TSB Bank Women's Surf Festival is back on with semi final action underway. Sal is taking on Chelsea Hedges in Semi Final 2. The event will finish today so make sure you tune in and watch it live right here. Good luck Sally!

Round 3 of the TSB Bank Womens Surf Festival is underway at Fitzroy in New Zealand today. Sal is up against Rosanne Hodge. Watch it live.

Hey! Thanks for stopping in. Round one of the TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival ASP Women’s World Tour event was surfed today at New Plymouth. I had a fun heat and got a win with a heat score of 17.26 [ah hum… highest of the round] to move straight into Round 3. Woohoo! I'm loving it over here. The area we're in is so beautiful. Tune into the event site nzsurffestival.co.nz to get more Round One results and to watch the live webcast.

Hiya! Here in beautiful New Zealand for the ASP World Tour stop number three, the TSB Bank Women's Surfing Festival. Surf was a little small at Taranaki today to get things underway but the forecast looks reasonably promising. Had a couple of fun surfs since I've been here and everything feels great. I'm up against Chelsea Hedges and Bruna Shmitz in Round One. I haven't dropped a first round heat yet in 2010 and I hope I can keep it that way. You can watch the event live here. Gonna get the

Early in the new year Steph Gilmore phoned me and asked me to come along on a trip to the Caroline Islands with her and Laura Enever. I was all over it. We had such a fun time and scored amazing barrels. Simon Williams, better known as Swilly, came along to take photos. I ran into Swilly recently and he was good enough to hand me a disk of images from our adventure. Click into the Gallery now to view them and make sure you stop by Swilly's website (swilly.com.au) and see more of his images.

Steph rang the bell. Sophia got a second. I managed a 3rd. I want to congratulate the both of them. Sophia was injured so I think it was really brave how she pushed on. I was happy with how I was surfing in this event and ultimately I'm cool with a 3rd at Bells but I can't help to feel a bit frustrated losing to Steph again. If you like You can see my heats from Bells in the Heats On Demand section of the Rip Curl Pro website: Round 1, Round 3, Quarter FInal & Semi Final. I've also included the

Bam! Down here at Bells. Round one and two were completed today in pretty fun but small waves at Rincon. I was in the first heat, it was a tough one against Carissa Moore and Bec Woods. I managed to get the win and move straight on into Round Three which I'm really happy about. In Round Three I'll take on Carissa again. Hope we get some swell. Carissa is a mega talent and would definitely be considered a title contender even in her rookie year. Should be a good one. You can watch it live here.

Cannot wait to get down to Bells and get stuck into the second event on this year's ASP World Tour, the Rip Curl Women's Pro. Finishing runner up at Margaret River was cool but I really wanted the win so I'll have to make up for it at Bells. I like Bells, I got a quarter final finish there last year. The wave itself is super challenging, it's not your regular point break. There's all these different sections that flatten out so maintaining good momentum through those fat sections so you have a

Sally finished second at the Drug Aware Pro at Margaret River today. Sal tore her way through to the final but was beaten by Chelsea Hedges in the dying stages of the heat in a very close battle. Full report here. The result will give Sal confidence heading into stop two on the ASP World Tour, the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach which kicks off on March 30. See video highlights from Margies here.

Well, event one was fun. Was unreal to catch up with all the girls. I had a couple of decent heats. Felt like I was surfing well and I was definitely enjoying myself. A little disappointed to not get past the quarter finals but it wasn't a terrible way to start my 2010 campaign. Steph went on to win the comp… again! Get the full report here. She's ripping and I'm looking forward to chadsing her down. Next stop Margaret River for the Drug Aware Pro. Wish me luck!

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. The Roxy Pro kicked off this morning at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast. It's the first event of the year and I was in the first heat so I was kind of nervous, but more excited than anything. I managed to get a couple of fun waves and get a win over Paige Hareb and Carissa Moore. That means I skip round two and move straight into round three. There's lots of good heats to come so mkae sure you stay tuned to my site. You can watch the event live here or check it

Interview by Reggae Elliss

After a successful junior career and the fastest WQS

Early in the new year I was over the moon to get a call from Steph Gilmore, asking if I wanted to go on a trip to Micronesia with her and Laura Enever. We scored some solid swell and had such a good time getting barrelled. We gotta thank photog and ultra nice guy Simon Williams who spotted the swell and snapped some awesome shots. You can check some of them out along with a cool little story from Steph on Surfline. Go there now...

Crazy how quick the break goes. Ah well, I’m psyched to get into it anyway. The schedule looks tidy for us girls. Couple of new stops on there and two more events than last year. This is going to be the best year ever! Check it out…
