Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit ?
Ms. Sally Fitzgibbons:
Diet and nutrition is hard to strictly maintain when on the road. It is all about selecting the best options at the time wherever I am in the world. Being Lactose intolerant is my only restriction so mostly my diet comprises of raw foods, fruit and vegetables and to that I add quality proteins and a variety of different soups.
Remember to always take time to treat yourself with your favourite foods no matter what that might be. It is important to find the balance that works for you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Sally Fitzgibbons:
It is always hard to battle against the harsh elements I work in each day; sun, salty, surf and wind. To combat this I find myself constantly moisturising my hair, skin and face with a range of Garnier products but in particular Garnier Pure Active scrub and making sure I cleanse my face at the end of each day to free my pause from being clogged with sunscreen.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How did you feel before and after when on 23rd April 2011, you won your first ASP World Tour event, defeating Carissa Moore in the final of the Rip Curl Women’s Pro at Bells Beach?
Ms. Sally Fitzgibbons:
Wow!!! That was such an incredible feeling that words can barely describe. I had been chasing a win for two years and had been in many finals only to place second each time but in 2011 all the planets aligned. It was the 50th anniversary of the Ripcurl Pro so all the past legends were there as part of the celebrations. I remember the finals day I had to surf 4 heats in the freezing cold and the waves were pumping… I still get goosebumps just thinking about it.
I beat Steph Gilmore in the semi and had Carissa Moore in the final and there was an amazing crowd lining the cliffs when I looked back from the water. When the siren went to finish and I realised I had won I just cried with happiness. I was chaired up the historic Bells stairs with pictures of all the champions and now I was one of them. I remember being so tired I could barely lift the trophy and nearly fell of the stage. A lifetime memory for sure 🙂
