ASP International News (01/2008) II
Al Hunt's Situation Room - Monday, January 7, 2008 
With only one ASP WQS event on this past week, the O’Neill SI Pro in Sebastian Inlet, not much has happened on the ’QS front. However, plenty has happened at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships and that does have a bearing on the ASP WQS. The top finishers in Narrabeen receive special seeding on the grind which can take years off your qualifying campaign. We’ve also had some events moved around on the schedule as well as others pulled completely. Read on for all the details…
Twice As Nice
Brazilian powerbroker Pablo Paulino just capped off his second win at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, cementing his place in ASP History as one of the few who have accomplished such a feat. The victory went down in pumping (and what some are claiming as “epic”) six-to-eight foot (2 metre) surf at North Narrabeen, and Paulino defeated 17-year-old Hawaiian phenom Tonino Benson. The action was non-stop for the juniors this season and Billabong has all the clips and shots from what went down...
O’Neill SI Pro Cracks Away
On the other side of the planet, the O’Neill SI Pro (the first event of the 2008 ASP WQS season) is chipping away. The ASP WQS 5-Star event has enjoyed punchy surf over the first few days at Florida’s Sebastian Inlet with Kauai’s Sebastian Zietz and Floridian Sterling Spencer the standouts thus far. The top seeds will hit the water over the next few days to see who will emerge victorious and be the first to lead the ASP WQS ratings in the New Year. Catch all the action.
Moons Over North Narrabeen
For those who were glued to the webcast this past weekend to see who would be crowned the new ASP World Junior Champion, you may have noticed some exhibitionist behavior going down during the Panasonic Expression Session by a certain young Hawaiian who shall remain nameless for the time being. The diminutive culprit decided to free himself from the shackles of his boardies and proceeded to blast backside reverses for a good 15 minutes with the sun gracing his bare backside. Although he failed to walk away with any official awards, his fearless display rendered commentators speechless and attracted the eye of more than one of the many females on the beach.
Her Name Is Sally
Sally Fitzgibbons, one of the most touted young talents to emerge from Australia in recent years, added another accolade to her growing resume with an emphatic victory at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships yesterday in solid surf at North Narrabeen. The victory not only marks Sally as the undisputed ASP World Junior Champion, but also gives her preferred seeding into all ASP WQS events this season. Seeing as how last year’s champ Nicola Atherton qualified in just one season with the aid of her preferred seeding, we may see young Ms. Fitzgibbons displaying her phenomenal talents on the ASP World Tour very soon.
