I just watched her R2 heat. She's surfing the FireWire better than the HS. She's got the liveliness she had on the HS but with more precision. Definitely lifted a level on the FireWire. If the tour was exclusively in 2 foot surf she'd win it in a canter on that board.
Women's surfing is just getting hotter! Maybe the airs aren't as big as the guys but they're bigger than mine! The only place where they lag behind soon will be in bigger waves where (theoretically) guys will have a weight and strength advantage.
Jesus is coming, look busy!

guys yeah its a custom. Nev worked with her on her equipment. She is small so she doesn't need the volume of the Alternator. I believe that she worked off the gromflex template with Nev to get to her final product.
Cheers and stoked to see her ripping!!

Talking to a mate of mine who lives down the Goldie about the waves he had on Sunday.
He was at one of the points and said Sally Fitz was easily the best surfer out in the water regardless of gender.
High praise indeed.
Meanwhile I had a similar experience last Thursday at First point Noosa with Julian Wilson out there.
Interesting to see how ridiculously high he could do aerials on waves that everyone else was riding conventionally.
Not so impressed with him dropping in on me on a good set wave.
I say that as it's always hard to get waves at Noosa so the last thing you want is a top ten surfer dropping in on you as they are not going to flick off.
My mate who's from Coolum (JW's home town) was even less impressed with Julian snaking him several times for waves.
Anyway back to Sally Fitz...
