The world I still holding its breath as the ASP WQS
6-Star Prime Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa put the men on hold last week, opting instead to finish off the ASP WQS Women’s season in solid overhead surf. Congratulations are in order for Megan Abubo who, with her win at Haleiwa, ensures her place back on the Dream Tour in 2008. The ’QS placings for the women have been locked in and we have new qualifiers and a few others who will have to wait to see what unfolds on the ASP Women’s World Tour to see if they’ll get their chance next season.

So by now, the world knows that mighty Mick Fanning
has clinched the 2007 Foster’s ASP World Title, punctuating what some are claiming as the “most impressive comeback in professional sport,” after his near career-ending injury in 2004. We’ve seen iconic photos of his victory celebrations in Brazil and Australia, heard words from the man himself, but what of the hallowed ASP World Title Cup? The trophy that has been passed from champ to champ and must contain more magic than Harry Potter’s wand? Well, ASP did some digging and found that the trophy is alive and well, and even had its own seat for the flight back to Australia. Long live the Green and Gold.

Well a “gobble gobble” to you too.

Florida’s Karina Petroni is the newest member of the elite
ASP Women’s World Tour in 2008, following her incredible 3rd place finish at the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa last week. The 19-year old is now the first East Coast female to qualify for the big show since Lisa Andersen. ASP caught up with Petroni in between celebratory sessions in Hawaii to play a little word association.

As the great comedian Eddie Izzard put it,
“…that’s all Imperialism is really, just sail around and stick a flag in!” In keeping with the theme of ever-expanding horizons, ASP North America has just completed its first-ever WQS event in Barbados, at the infamous righthander Soup Bowls. The Reef Classic Barbados, an ASP WQS 1-Star event, was scalped by Puerto Rican Josie Graves following three action-packed days of competition.
