COOLANGATTA, Australia (Friday, June 27, 2008) - The news from ASP Women’s Tour Manager Brooke Farris that Sally Fitzgibbons has already secured qualification on the 09 Championship Tour is definitely worth closer inspection.
In much the same fashion that Jordy Smith and Dane Reynolds tore through the ribbons to qualify for the Men’s Tour at their first serious attempt, the young surfer from NSW, Australia, has cut a swathe through the ranks to set a world record pace for qualification.
