WSL Championship Tour rookie Isabella Nichols talks about her unique and memorable first season on tour. She describes waiting a whole year between qualification and her first event, her strong Australian leg that included a second-place finish at Newcastle, and the challenges of surfing at Surf Ranch for the first time. She discusses pursuing her education while chasing her dream of making the tour, getting a degree in engineering, and her desire to work with wave pool technology. Isabella also touches on her scariest session at Sunset Beach, working as a stunt double for Blake Lively and her strategy and preferred seeding if she were to make the Rip Curl WSL Finals.
