Championship Tour star Sally Fitzgibbons returns to the pod to talk about the upcoming Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach and beyond. She discusses the tradition of making the pilgrimage to Bells, her spiritual connection to that specific break, what it was like to ring the bell after her first win there, the importance of not rushing things on the wave, and her favorite sections of the iconic break. She looks towards the upcoming Mid-season Cut and breaks down the hungry, “swing free” mentality she will bring into the next two events. She looks back at her amazing 2021 season where she accomplished two major career milestones - representing Australia in the Olympics and surfing in the first-ever Rip Curl WSL Finals. Sally also touches on athletes in other sports who have influenced her, her comfort and success at Margaret River, the purist experience of connecting to a wave, competing at Pipeline for the first time, and her role in the 2032 Olympic games in Brisbane.
