ASP International News (01/2008)
Al Hunt’s Situation Room – Monday, December 31, 2007 
As 2007 winds down, I like to take time and reflect on how the ASP WQS tour is taking shape – new trends, patterns for success, changes in the wind. Over the past few years, we’ve seen the influx of big money events and surfers breaking point records on the grind, and we really don’t see any signs of slowing down. It seems that the dream life of being a professional surfer is just too appealing to most people and there are more and more competitors vying each and every year for a crack at the show. 2008 will be no different, and the ASP WQS will once again feature some of the most passionate competition on the planet. Check out my calls for the year ahead…

Party Like a Surf Star 
The New Year is upon us and it’s a time to celebrate all the hard work and effort put forth in 2007 and welcome in ’08 with a bang.

Surf on Tap for ASP WQS 5-Star O’Neill SI Pro 
The opening event of the 2008 ASP WQS season, the ASP WQS 5-Star O’Neill SI Pro presented by Ron Jon, may get some surf for the waiting period, meaning rippable peaks could be on offer for the pros to tear into at Florida’s Sebastian Inlet.

Showdown in Sydney 
It’s been a long breath between drinks, but the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships are finally upon us, and will begin competition this Thursday, Jan. 3, at North Narrabeen beach, Australia. 48 men and 18 women will vie to be the successors to the reigning ASP World Junior Championship thrones, currently held by Jordy Smith (ZAF) and Nicola Atherton (AUS), both of whom qualified for the Dream Tour this season. Expect big things to be coming out of Narrabeen this week and don’t miss a moment of action.
