ASP International News (08/2008)
Like a Rock Star 
Hawaiian juggernaut Bruce Irons took down Stop No. 6 on the ASP World Tour, the Rip Curl Pro Search, ‘somewhere’ in Indonesia this past week and celebrated like a rock star. After blitzing the ledging lefthanders at turbo speed, Irons the younger was marched up the cliff to the sounds of Indonesian bells and thousands of spectators cheering. Donning full native ceremonial gear and with a stunning sun setting over the Indonesian lineup in the background, Irons hoisted the Rip Curl Pro Search globe over his head and roared a primal and guttural call of victory for the world to hear.
Mrs. Dingo
Dean “Dingo” Morrison, current No. 18 on the ASP World Tour, popped the question to longtime girlfriend Alana Brennan ‘somewhere’ in Indonesia last week and the happy couple is off to the altar. The week proved fruitful for Morrison in other ways too who defeated Roy Powers (HAW), Leonardo Neves (BRA) and Michael Campbell (AUS) before coming up short to Taj Burrow (AUS). Morrison finished equal 9th at the Rip Curl Pro Search and moved into No. 18 on the ASP World Tour ratings. Congratulations to the happy couple.
ASP WQS Situation Room – Monday, August 4, 2008
ASP action happening around the globe this past week so let’s get started. Hawaiian Bruce Irons claimed his first ASP World Tour win at the Rip Curl Search ‘Somewhere’ in Indo while Kelly faltered early and the top seeds failed to capitalize. Dustin Cuizon picked off his second ASP WQS career win at the ASP WQS 6-Star Yumeya Billabong Pro Tahara in Japan and ASP Top 17 member Jacqueline Silva (BRA) scalped the ASP WQS 6-Star Billabong Cascais Festival. Ratings movements, ASP Pro Junior title and much more after the jump– yew!
Escape from Cascais
While the girls of the ASP Top 17 and ASP WQS are resetting after last week’s battle in Portugal, but for some of them, leaving the town of Cascais is proving more difficult than they could have imagined. Suffering rental car debacles, board bags flying onto the highway, sleepy and sore sangria mornings, ASP World Tour surfers Amee Donohoe and Jessi Miley-Dyer have teamed up with ‘QS’ers Kim Mayer, Nikita Robb, Marina Werneck, Ornella Pellizari, Kim Wooldridge and Kyla Langen in one massive van to see if they can…escape from Cascais! If you’re in Europe, stay off the highways.
Fantasy Freakout
Well, well, well…with all the top seeds on the ASP World Tour, including eight-time ASP World Champion and current ratings leader Kelly Slater (USA) all going down early, there were surely some cyber punters crying in their bags of Doritos over the weekend as Fantasy Surfer teams cried out all over the world. Well the hits are going to keep on coming as next up will be the Rip Curl Pro Mademoiselle featuring the world’s best female surfers. Be sure to lock your team in as soon as possible.
