A Call to Action – Trestles
It’s been an issue for quite sometime now, but the venue for Stop No. 7 on the ASP World Tour, the world famous Lower Trestles, is currently being threatened by the development of a toll road that will cut through the state park. The California Coastal Commission will be meeting Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 9pm at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at Wyland to discuss moving forward with the potentially harmful development project. Be sure to do your part to ensure that Trestles keeps its epic form.
Newest Member of the ASP Women's World Tour
Veteran campaigner and perennial threat on the ASP Women’s World Tour, Melanie Redman-Carr, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl this past weekend. The tenacious Western Australian was out surfing Saturday morning, went into labor Saturday night, before giving birth on Sunday morning. The bubba has come a couple of weeks early, so the happy parents were caught a bit off guard in terms of naming the little one, but you can be sure that the grommet will be mixing it up in the lineup in no time. Congrats Melanie!

Go Giants! Quite the upset in the States as New York took down a formerly undefeated New England in the Super Bowl, and the ASP events saw their fair share of upsets as well this past week. The Monster Energy Pro presented by Billabong saw Pipe Specialists Andy Irons and Rob Machado both suffer early exits due to poor surf, and across the pond, the Oakley Pro Junior at North Stradbroke Island is gearing up for what could be a solid week of surf.

A Good Year
This time last year, ASP World Tour campaigner Bede Durbidge had lost his main sponsor and was preparing to put up his own cash to support his worldwide campaign. Fast-forward a scant 52 weeks and Bede has landed a number of sponsors, claimed the Billabong Pipeline Masters, become the Vans Hawaiian Triple Crown champion, finished No. 5 in the world, and now, has married his longtime sweetheart Tarryn Pennell. In a beautiful ceremony last Saturday at Currumbin Alley, Durbidge and Pennell tied the knot with fellow ASP World Tour campaigners Taj Burrow and Mick Fanning looking on. Congrats to the happy couple!
