ASP WQS Situation Room – Monday, November 17, 2008
Arguably one of the heaviest weekends all season long for our weary ASP WQS campaigners. The women are all but shut down after Haleiwa action, although a few challengers still have a chance. The men are much more interesting in terms of qualification as some of our formerly “safe” patrons are eliminated and staring down the barrel of some Hawaiian heavy hitters just outside the bubble.

It was really cool to arrive home to Stradbroke Island in Australia and find my family and friends had organized a party for me after winning in Brazil. It was a great buzz and drove home the good feeling around securing my third ASP World Tour win and moving to No. 2 in the ratings behind Kelly ahead of Hawaii.

Vans Triple Crown of Surfing
Hawaii, the mecca of high-performance surfing, is back in gear with the 2008 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. For the men, it represents a last stab at Dream Tour qualification as well as the hunt for the coveted Triple Crown Title, while the women are hunting for the 2008 ASP Women’s World Title in addition to qualification points and Hawaiian bragging rights.

Bugs: Congratulations to Bonga and Onward to Hawaii
