Career

Sport

In 2016, at 11 years old Norris became the youngest surfer ever to compete in the open round of the Sydney International Women’s Pro.[4][5] Her 4 November 2016 interview with Karl Stefanovic captured quite a bit of attention on Australia's Channel Nine's The Today Show; it reportedly attracted over 2 million views[6] prompting an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show[7][8] which was viewed 40 million times.[9]

Norris is an accomplished skateboarder and although she has been diagnosed with Chiari malformation,[10][11][12] it did not impede her selection in the Australian skateboarding squad for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[13][14][15] She is the third female in history and first Australian female to land a "540".[16]

In 2018 she won a silver medal in skateboarding at the X Games (becoming the first woman to land a McTwist on a skateboard at an X Games);[17][18] won the Bondi Bowl-A-Rama;[19] and finished in second place in the Vans Park Series Oceania Championships.[20] In 2019 the ABC published the biographical podcast Sabre Norris — the girl who shreds waves and skate parks.[21]

In 2021 she appeared in the documentary film Tall Poppy: A Skater's Story, about 21-year-old Australian skateboarder Poppy Starr Olsen.[22]

YouTube

Sabre Norris and her family have 4 channels called "The Norris Nuts", "Norris Nuts Do Stuff", "Norris Nuts Gaming", and "Norris Nuts Cooking".[23] which focuses on her and her five younger siblings birthdays, gaming, and performing challenges. They also record songs together for the channel.[24] As of 2023, they have around 11 million subscribers combined across their 3 channels.[25]
