Roxy Surfer Sally Fitzgibbons, (AUS), 20, has well and truly shaken the proverbial ‘runner-up-monkey’ off her back, taking her second consecutive elite tour victory, winning the ASP Subaru Pro TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival in Taranaki, New Zealand today.

Fresh off her maiden victory at Bells Beach last week, Fitzgibbons proved her ‘bridesmaid days were over’, defeating defending event champion and ratings leader Carissa Moore, (HAW), 18, to secure the ASP Women’s World No. 1 position.

“This means the world to me, I’m so stoked to get a win here in New Zealand,” Fitzgibbons said. “Last year I got runner-up so to take the win today is extra special.”
