I love surfing Bells, its a challenging wave and Ive done well there in the past so Im looking forward to the national final for sure, she said.

Ill just concentrate on that and if I do well then look to the international final.

Good waves at Bells is all Im hoping for right now.

On an amazing winning streak at the moment December has already seen Fitzgibbons take out the national U17S 800m and 1500m at the Australian All Schools athletics titles at Homebush.

At 16 Fitzgibbons has amassed an amazing junior sporting record and will go into the national GromSearch final as the heavy favourite.
