ASP International News (10/2007) II
Al Hunt’s Situation Room – Monday, October 8, 2007 
The calm before the storm. After a relatively quiet run on The Grind the past couple of weeks, we’re gearing up for the last big run of events before the season finishes. After competing some smaller 2-Stars, we’ll have some potentially damaging 4-Stars this week in Santa Cruz and the Canaries, before we get into the big events the week following. There are still a lot of points available and much can change. Who will stay on top? Who will challenge the guard?

Pressure Cooker 
The world has waited with bated breath as the drama continues to build in the off days at the Billabong Pro Mundaka. After running Round 1 at nearby Bakio Beach on Tuesday, competitors waited four days before Bakio turned on again for Round 2 on Sunday…and there were some HUGE upsets! With swell projected over the coming days, the ASP Foster’s 45 could be back on at the premier venue of Mundaka and there is a lot on the line. Will Fanning clinch in Spain? Will the challengers mount a late-season charge?

The Girls Hit Sydney 
The girls of the ASP Women’s World Tour are in Manly Beach at the moment, preparing for the 2007 NAB Beachley Classic. Event No. 5 of 8 on this season’s tour, the race for the ASP World Title is a tight one with four surfers within striking distance of the ratings lead. Steph Gilmore scalped the win as a wildcard last season and will be looking to repeat in her campaign as a member of the elite, but there are plenty who would stand in her way.
