This video must have taken a very long time to create. The end result is so beautiful! I love it.

The 2009 ASL  Peer Poll Awards took place this last Saturday in Bells Beach Australia during the WCT.  These Poll Awards are the only surfing awards that the ASP Top 45 Men and 17 Women surfers themselves actually vote for; it is quite a unique opportunity to vote for your peers and have a say at "who is best".  It is also a HUGE honor to be awarded and recognized by your peers.

The ASP World Tour surfers are in FACT in the best position to judge and gauge the talent and skills of the juniour surfers rising through the ranks.  And this year they voted  Roxy’s Sally Fitzgibbons as the winner for the female Snickers NExt Big Thing alongside Quiksilver’s Julian WIlson for the Mens side. 

“Julian and Sally have the world at their feet. ASL has been tracking, filming and writing about them for a long time now and it’s great to see they are getting consistent recognition by the surfers who are both their peers and heroes” said ASL editor Tim Fisher

As luck would have it…Sally was handed the award on stage by Layne Beachley, where earlier in the day, Sally had handed it to Layne out in the water; where Sally convincingly COMBO-ED the seven time world champion in Round 3 of the Bells WCT. Well, the moment wasn’t lost on either of them on stage, with Layne commenting that the heat (her last ever at Bells) confirmed that her decision to retire from competitive surfing was the right choice..  CONGRATULATIONS SALLY!!!!!

"This is the biggest win for me ever and to top it off her at Merewether in from of my family is just so good." Phillipa exclaimed!
