Surfer Sally Fitzgibbons won the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia on Saturday, beating fellow Aussie Tyler Wright and landing equal first on the World Surf League rankings.
The 26-year-old, originally from Gerroa on the New South Wales south coast, spoke to The Project this evening.
She said she was happy to beat her long-time rival Wright who also grew up in Gerroa; she spoke about the thrill she felt winning the competition; and she revealed the reason she wears her engagement ring while she surfs.
Sure, it might seem like a risky move, but there’s a very sweet reason behind it.
