A great start for Sally at the Roxy Pro at Snapper Rocks Coolangatta, Australia yesterday Saturday 26th of February.
Congrats Sally!
You're killing it!!
It has been a busy week with also the ASP World Surfing Awards. Among these Sally received her runner-up trophy for the 2010 World Tour at the Gold Coast Convention Centre at a Gala evening.
Ok I got home from the Roxy Shoot in Chamonix just now and finally have time to think about writing a blog about incredible India :-)
Caja Schöpf and me went to India, Kashmir to explore something new and exotic and finally organised our girls only trip. We were really sad that Eva Patscheider couldn't join us. (But good to see you're getting back into the game Eva!)
I don't want to talk to much because there is too much to tell about the trip to fit it into a blog. There gonna be some stories in different magazines soon....so watch out.
I just wanna say it was an amazing trip, even though we were a little unlucky with the weather. Just the whole country, the local people, the mountain, the other guests in our hotel, the staff just the whole atmosphere was really different to a normal ski trip. (I felt like on a surf trip....just skiing :-)) We had basically no internet connection and our mobile phones were not working. So it was pretty much back to basic and really nice to talk to so many people, get to know so many people with nice stories.
thats pretty much what the conclusion was or is for me without telling every story! They will follow !
Thanks so much for the support to Fiat!!! And thanks to the moongrew Felix, Caja and Roman!!!:-))
hey, there is me again.... well I was gone in India, Kashmir with almost no connection to the world outside;-) so a blog from there will follow. But as it all goes really fast I came back monday, went to Kaprun wednesday morning and competed yesterday! Still sick from India I wasn't feeling so good. My training was the worst ever... I didn't do anything and crashed. Well but then I somehow managed to really focuse on my run and my tricks I wanted to do and it worked out! I stombed my first run really clean and had my crabs. And now yeah I am really happy it worked out and I finally made it on top of the podium at the Austrian Freeski Open. :-)

GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Tuesday, February 22, 2011) –The ASP Top 17 will spring back into action this weekend for the opening event of the 2011 ASP Women's World Title season, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover.
Boasting a waiting period of February 26 through March 9, 2011, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast will feature the world's best female surfers as they start their respective campaigns for the 2011 ASP Women's World Title.
Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 20, 2010 ASP Women's World Runner-Up, is keen to get back into the competition singlet following an off season spent traipsing up and down the Eastern seaboard of Australia.
“I've really enjoyed my off season at home,” Fitzgibbons said. “It seemed to fly by so fast and now we are already gearing up for the Roxy Pro. I managed to get all my wisdom teeth pulled out in my time off and spent some time at Snapper when the cyclone swells hit. I surfed and trained up and down the South Coast and I taught one of my heroes, tennis star Martina Navratilova, how to surf.”
Fitzgibbons will be honoured as the ASP Women's World Runner-Up at the ASP World Surfing Awards on the Gold Coast this Thursday.
“I had a really exciting year in 2010 and learned so much,” Fitzgibbons said. “I came close to a few wins throughout the year, so I now know the things I have to do to take that extra step and win. I was happy with my consistency last year and finishing at World Number 2 is something to be proud of. I will carry the confidence from that into the upcoming season. I will keep pushing to improve my performance throughout the 2011 World Tour.”
Coming off a banner year in 2010, Fitzgibbons will look to firmly cement her reputation as and ASP Women's World Title contender this season.
“My motivations to start the season are as always: that I love competing and surfing with the World's Best and that I want to be World Champion,” Fitzgibbons said. “My goals will be to keep improving my surfing through the year, to win a few events would be amazing and soak up all the excitement that comes with being on the World Tour. I want to enjoy my travels and explore along the way, I'm hoping to find some waves that I haven't yet surfed. I'm really excited for the upcoming event as I like watching everyone and the new rookies and seeing who's switched on for a great year.”
Fitzgibbons will face rookie Laura Enever (AUS), 19, and replacement surfer Claire Bevilacqua (AUS), 28, in Round 1 of the Roxy Pro.

So we are all in Chamonix for a Roxy shoot this week. Having a blast, staying in the DC chalet!
When we arrived we found we each had our own locker with our names on, pretty cool!
The motto for the week
Yes Basa is down with the motto, ready to get some!
Myself and Basa first thing yesterday morning, ready to rock in the flat light conditions
Margot, FRENCH...bit of a legend in powder.
We built 2 kickers today, blue bird, perfect, and I learned 2 new tricks. AMPED!!!
Mt Blanc had his hat on today, the wind was picking up over there, it's going to dump tomorrow so that is good news!
Here is a small video edit from my last trip to Colorado!
It was a very cool trip! Awesome powder days, sweet jumps and pipe, sick skate sessions in the bowl and lots of other kind of fun in Woodward, lots of friends, amazing mood and shopping, swimming pool in the evenings and lots more! Just a very sweet trip!
Much love,
Alyona.
Hello everybody!
I just got back home for two days from Helsinki trip where we went to shoot some street rails with my friends. It was definitely good decision since down here in Europe is no snow Helsinki was packed with snow and we even got 40cm fresh. This city is one big playground and everywhere you go you see something to hit.
This was my first rail to hit in Helsinki! It was pretty long to be honest and it took some time.Its good to start with not the easiest i guess.
Julia and me somewhere in Helsinki.
Finland is one beautiful country and if you havent been there yet you should think about maybe going. Not only for street of course :)
Tomorrow we are all of to Chamonix where we have a Roxy photoshoot so you can expect some cool blogs! Hopefully we will get some snow! Thats the one thing i want the most right now. Powder...

FINALS went down today at the 6* TTR Arctic Challenge
The competition lived up to it's name, it was cold, sunny, but however very challenging!
MS Buass, was killing it in practice and in finals, with a huge bs 3 stale on the big booter, a steezy back 3 and a massive front 7 on the bottom jump, that put her in the 6th spot, she didn't quite put the run together that she wanted all in one run. The level of girls riding was amazing, a really high level and a great show, the first time ever the girls have been invited to the contest. I wasn't riding in the finals so I went up to support the girls and I got some snaps of Kjersti.
Enjoy.

Kjersti and Aimee at the Arctic Challenge
Today saw the start of the prestigious Arctic Challenge slopestyle event for the ladies, with the semi finals going down in impressive style on the big and challenging course. The girls had taken a few days to get used to the large kickers which even the men were finding daunting. However, after a few days the top ladies soon settled down and began throwing some big and stylish spins on the huge jumps. The top spot for the ladies in the semis was taken by US ripper Jamie Anderson who's smooth style on the big jumps stood out all day. Closely following Jamie was Spencer O'Brian, who's technical riding really stood out. UK slopestyle queen, Jenny Jones qualified in third spot and is also looking hot to take a podium position in the finals tomorrow. Our very own Kjersti Buaas threw down an impressive back 3, to front 3, to front 540 on the jumps and with her individual style tweaked her way to a place in the finals coming in 5th spot. Kjersti ahd this to say,
'I had a lot of fun out there today. The course is awesome and it is amazing to be riding in my home country. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow and to throwing down a good run'.

Cheryl Maas and Thea Stenshagen make up the other riders in the finals tomorrow with 13 year old Roxy rider Ty Walker just missing out but coming in an impressive 7th spot. She is definitely one to watch!
