Did you know Isabella Nichols once subbed for Blake Lively in a Hollywood film?

It was for The Shallows, a shark thriller set in Hawaii that hit cinemas around 2016. She got the job as her surfing double, showing Miss Lively the ropes… like making sure her fins were screwed in the right way, those kind of ropes.

Anyway, with the help of filmmaker, Dan Scott, the pair lined up a bunch of footage that deserved to see the light of day, cued up a psych track and hit live.

It’s called BELLA and it was shot around her home in Queensland and Indonesia. The waves look inviting and Isabella’s game seems to be coming along just fine.
