Biography of Ashley Cheadle
Ashley Cheadle (born 7 December 1987) is an Australian surfer, model and actress who rose to prominence in the early 2000s through her surfing and modeling activities. Cheadle's pop-culture popularity led her to guest spots on Australian television and in film, including roles in ABC television's Blue Water High and in the 2008 film Fool's Gold.
Cheadle is of English, Irish descent. Ashley’s family of five (she also has a younger, very active brother Josh ) is a very tight unit, supportive in all she does, adding to the way Ash embraces life. Her older brother, Luke Cheadle, is a professional surfer. Her father was also once a competitive surfer.
Following in the footsteps of Dad and older brother (Billabong rider) Luke, Ashley began competing at age 13. And soon this girl from small town Culburra, NSW picked up a sponsorship at 14 for her surfing talents and was later discovered by Billabong as the ultimate Billabong Girl.
Even when she realized her professional aspirations would not involve continued competitive surfing, she described the sport as being "in my blood."
Cheadle's professional surfing has been sponsored by surf-wear giant Billabong, which has promoted her as a member of the company's Billabong Girls team. Her professional surfing activities have included participation in high-profile tournaments and in special events designed to cultivate public interest in surfing.
Her association with Billabong included a featured role in the 2006 Billabong-sponsored surf film Free as a Dog. Subsequent to her role in Free as a Dog, Cheadle appeared in the Australian television series Blue Water High and in the Hollywood movie Fool's Gold (2008 film). She has said her long-term professional goal is to be an actress rather than a competitive surfer.
