ASP WQS Situation Room - Monday, June 30, 2008 
The ASP WQS has just wrapped back-to-back 5-Star events in Brazil and the ratings on the Grind are beginning to take shape with competitors filling up their seven results for the season. Shaun Ward (USA) collected his second event win of the season (and his career) with the ASP WQS 5-Star Local Motion Guaruja Surf Pro and vaulted up 47 spots on the rankings. The event was also cause for some other substantial movement in the ratings, and with the ASP WQS 6-Star Mr. Price Pro coming up this week, expect the hits to keep on coming.
