World championship surfer Molly Picklum has joined local business, Industree Group, as its brand ambassador.
Currently ranked number three in the world, 20-year-old surfing prodigy from Shelly Beach is an elite athlete devoted to being the best surfer in the world.
“Industree Group is incredibly proud to support Molly on her remarkable journey and to have her on board as our new ambassador,” CEO Jon Fleming said.
Facing enormous eight-foot waves, Picklum won the prestigious Hurley Pro Sunset Beach event in Hawaii in February – her first World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour win.
On the Australian leg of the WSL Championship tour, wearing the yellow leader’s jersey, she placed runner-up to defending champion Tyler Wright at the Rip Curl Pro event at Bells Beach and finished in the quarter finals at the Margaret River Pro.
The next leg of the 2023 WSL Championship Tour was a big one for Picklum as she competed in the Surf Ranch Pro in California, a two-day wave pool event on May 27-28.
“Molly’s professionalism, passion and resilience is setting a new standard in the sport, while her down-to-earth and humble nature makes (her) a fan favourite on the surfing circuit,” Fleming said.
“The teenage surf prodigy’s trophy cabinet is filling up rapidly, despite her career having only just begun.
“As an Australian owned and operated, designer and manufacturer of premium Personal Protective Equipment, Industree Group is genuinely dedicated to supporting the local community and thrilled to have the talented surfer onboard.
“It is Molly’s strong sense of community and passion for the environment that makes this a natural partnership for Industree Group,” Fleming said.
Industree Group is the naming rights sponsor of the Central Coast Stadium, now known as Industree Group Stadium, demonstrating the company’s strong ongoing commitment to supporting local sport and the community.
Now living at Terrigal, Picklum continues to support her local boardriders club and loves spending time with young surfers on the Central Coast.
“As a proud Central Coast girl, I am excited to become a brand ambassador for one of our local businesses, Industree Group,” she said.
“As I travel the world on my surfing journey, the support of my home community means so much to me.
“I’m looking forward to working together on projects to celebrate our shared passions of sustainability and supporting local.”
