Fantasy Surfer Speculation
Eight-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater blew minds at last week’s Quiksilver Pro pres. by LG, defeating reigning ASP World Champ Mick Fanning in the finals. Will Kelly be at Bells though? And, what kind of impact will that have on your Fantasy Surfer Teams? On the women’s front, we saw Peruvian Sofia Mulanovich grab the Roxy Pro while reigning ASP Women’s World Champ Steph Gilmore suffered an early exit. How’d you guys go? If you haven’t signed up yet, you’re blowing it! Remember, play both the men’s and the women’s for the biggest prizes.
The Wicked Chronicles Part I 
With the wrap of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro pres. by LG, the best surfers in the world have two weeks before battling it out in the coliseum that is Bells Beach for the Rip Curl Pro. With such a short break in between events, the ASP Top 45 and Top 17 are already gearing up for their next assault on the ASP World Tour and ASP Women’s World Tour. With that in mind, ASP has lucked into a sweet Wicked Camper (fresh with Steve Irwin spray) to trek the coast and catch up with the world’s best surfers to see how they spend their time in between events.

Bustin’ Down the Door Touches Down in Oz
Shaun Tomson’s iconic documentary, Bustin’ Down the Door, has finally arrived in Australia, premiering up at Noosa this past Thursday. The film, which chronicles the Hawaiian exploits of Tomson, Mark Richards, Ian Cairns, Peter Townend and Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew, illustrates the birth of professional surfing and received a rabid response from the packed theatre in Noosa. This film is a must see for all who surf, and even those who don’t. Great story-telling, dramatic cinematography and some of the best characters our sport has ever seen.
ASP WQS Situation Room - Monday, March 10, 2008 
The ASP WQS reignites this week with the ASP WQS 4-Star Arrive Alive Central Coast Pro at Soldiers Beach so we’ll be seeing what’s what in terms of ratings next Monday. We did, however wrap a hard-fought ASP Pro Junior event in the land of the long, white cloud (that’s New Zealand to everyone born in a barn) as well as the GSI Noosa Festival of Surfing.
