ASP International News (01/2008) III
Al Hunt's Situation Room - Monday, January 21, 2008
The scant 28 days between when the 2007 ASP WQS finished and the ’08 season commenced were nigh unbearable for me, but thankfully, we’re back on the Grind following the completion of the ASP WQS 5-Star O’Neill SI Pro. Congratulations to Patrick Gudauskas who, in his first event since last season’s injury, collected the opening event of the season and is the current points leader on the 2008 ASP WQS. Bit of movement and bit of forecasting on my end so read on!
Bustin’ Down the Door
A film of monumental proportions and importance is poised to hit the big screen in the coming weeks, and if you don’t plan on seeing it, you need to reevaluate your life my friend. "Bustin’ Down the Door" features professional surfing icons Shaun Tomson, Mark Richards, Ian Cairns, Peter Townend, ASP President Wayne Bartholomew among others in the story of how this brash group of phenomenal surfers broke boundaries on the North Shore in the 1970s, ultimately establishing the first competitive circuits and creating the sport of surfing. Narrated by Oscar winner Edward Norton, "Bustin’ Down the Door", reveals an intimate look at the forefathers of professional surfing, both then and now.
The Champ is Injured
A couple weeks back, the ASP caught up with the ASP Top 45 to see how they would spend their New Year’s Eve. Spattered amongst the revelry and holiday was reigning ASP World Champion Mick Fanning and his intention to go snowboarding in Japan. Soon after, rumors began swirling that the fleet-footed Australian had suffered an injury and had broken a wrist. Reports to the contrary followed and amidst all the confusion, no one single strain of thought came out on top. ASP caught up with the Rip Curl crew and learn that the Champ suffered a minor injury his left scaphoid, but will be 100% by the start of the season.
The Year of Kiron
Hot off the heals of the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, which saw upstarts Pablo Paulino and Sally Fitzgibbons take the titles, the No Fear/Koastal Kaos Pro Junior went off in macking Sunset Beach last weekend. Brazilian-born Kiron Jabour came out victorious and will set his sites on a berth at Narrabeen next January.
Breakfast of Champions
Okay, so we’ve seen how you have to surf to win events, but what about the behind-the-scenes stuff? What kind of training do you have to do to get yourself there, what equipment do you need to use, and maybe most importantly…what do you need to eat? ASP caught up with recent O’Neill SI Pro Champion and current ASP WQS ratings leader Patrick Gudauskas to find out what went down the gullet the morning he changed his destiny.
