Brittani Nicholl

Birthdate.. May 20 1990

Hometown.. Pottsville NSW

Favourite Break.. Snapper and the Pass but without the crowds

Other sponsors.. Gallaz & Electric

I wish people would take more notice of... other people, some people only look after themselves.

The most suprising thing that ever happened to me was... being asked to jump out of an aeroplane at 15.000ft.

The ideal night out is... just chillin with all of my friends.

You know me as a surfer but in a different kind of life... I'd be a very successful motorcross rider.

The most favourite place you have been to in the last 12 months... New Zealand, the trip was pretty amazing, but being at home and having my friends and family around is hard to beat.

What's the water temperature like where you live..? around 21degrees, it's pretty warm all year long.

What's your favourite thing about surfing..? Being able to forget about everything, being able to have fun whilst trying to surf as best as I can. You also get to meet heaps of new people and surf and see some amazing places.

What are your other obsessions..? Skatboarding, motorcross riding, soccer, drawing and making movies.

What goals do you have outside of surfing..? To complete my HSC this year and to be as healthy as I can be.

What surfer inspires you the most..? Probably Steph Gilmore because she is such an amazingly happy person and is such a talented surfer.
I also like that she made the time to finish school.

Bethany Hamilton is another inspiration to me because of her courage and she rips.

What music psychs you before you compete..? Anything with a good beat. Hip Hop artists like Sneaky Sound System ans The Minisrty Of Sound.

Define good style in the surf..? A cruisie and laid back style like the guys you see riding the retro boards is always great to watch, but as for competition full on power is what blows me away.

When's the last time you got worked in the surf..? The other day at Snapper there were these random 6fters that cleaned alot of us up.

In a nutshell my philosophy is this... Things can come and go in life so always respect the things you have.
