ASP International News (04/2008)
Thumping Margarets 
The Drug Aware Pro presented by O’Neill kicked off action this week and Huey has served up a value-sized swell. Surf in the 6-8 foot range is currently detonating on the infamous reef, and swell is projected to smash into the 20-foot range in the coming days. Boasting an ASP WQS 6-Star PRIME event for the men and an ASP WQS 5-Star event for the women, the Drug Aware Pro has attracted a cross-section of the best male and female surfers and with swell approaching macking levels, you can be sure to see some fireworks. Don’t miss a second of LIVE action.
The Newest Member of the ASP Top 17?
After only three events on this season’s ASP WQS, Gerroa’s Sally Fitzgibbons has already amassed an incredible 6,150 points with wins at the ASP WQS 6-Star Roxy Pro Women’s Surfing Festival, the ASP WQS 4-Star Arrive Alive Central Coast Pro and a runner-up finish at last week’s ASP WQS 6-Star Midori Pro. Still a bit difficult to call give the season isn’t event at the 1/3 mark, but with her nearest challengers 2,450 points away, the ASP Women’s World Tour better prepare to see lots of Sally in the near future.
The Swoosh Steps Up
One of the longest-running events in North America, the Surfbout at Lower Trestles, has picked up a new sponsor. Footwear giant Nike, and their action sports offshoot Nike 6.0 jumped at the opportunity to pick up the Surfbout for three years. Retaining its ASP WQS 4-Star rating this season, Nike 6.0 will be upgrading the event to an ASP WQS 6-Star in 2009 and 2010, with the option to take it PRIME. This means big points are now up for grabs for contestants at the famed cobblestone break, and Surfbout will continue to be a staple on the ASP World Qualifying Series.
ASP WQS Situation Room - Monday, April 7, 2008
Into the thick of it now, having just completed Surfest in Merewether which saw an ASP WQS 4-Star men’s event as well as an ASP WQS 6-Star women’s event. Congratulations are in order for Adriano de Souza and Stephanie Gilmore who took down the MR Pro and Midori Pro respectively. Certainly some movement in the ratings this week, and with the start of the Drug Aware Pro pres. by O’Neill at Margaret River just around the corner, expect to see some big shake-ups in the coming week.
