Sally was born in Australia in a small country town called Gerroa just south of Sydney. A typical country girl who loved the beach and a lot of sports. Her competitive nature probably came from being the youngest of 4 siblings having 3 older brother. As a 10 year old Sally watched Cathy Freeman win gold at Sydney Olympics and her path and goals were set to compete at the Olympics herself one day.

Sally represented her State and Australia on many occasions in a number of different sports, including athletics, winning gold at the 2007 Youth Olympics in 800m and 1500m, touch football, soccer, surfing and cross-country running.

Sally won the World Junior Surfing Championship in 2007 and again in 2008 and then won the World Surfing Qualifying Series the same year to qualify for the elite World Surfing Tour putting an end to her Olympic running dreams.  She has finished in the top three in the world seven times and been a world title contender every year and is known as the most consistent surfer on the tour. Nothing better highlights her determination and courage than her 2015 Fiji Pro victory at the famed Cloudbreak Reef, beating the field despite suffering a perforated eardrum in the second round.  Sally has built a formidable competitive surfing career she has held the WSL number one yellow jersey ranking 6 times and claimed 12 x WSL World Tour Championship wins and three runner-up finishes to the World Title (2010, 2011, 2012).  Sally has been the ISA World Champion three times 2008, 2018 and 2021

Sally is the author of two books ‘Live Like Sally’ and ‘Summer Fit - All Year Round’ and encourages all to lead active and healthy lifestyles

Sally's Olympic dream disappeared in 2009 when she joined the World Surfing Tour but as fate would have it Tokyo 2020 added Surfing as a new Olympic sport. Sally qualified to represent Australia and finished 5th completing the dream that started when she was 10 years old.

This is Sally’s 15th year of competing on WSL World Tour and is she a member of the Olympic Program Commission for the IOC which determines the sports that compete at the Olympic Games.

From culburra. Competing for a while. Appreciate my team and love working with them. Love my wife. 

I'm a proud Australian who wants to see how far I can push this sport.
