The Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley saw today the Men’s action with the first round heating the water around 9am in small but clean two foot waves (0.5 metre). One of the highlights of the day was the heat with Brazilian Gabriel Medina (15), who won a Grom Event in France with two ten points rides in the final.

“It was very cool this event in France. The waves was very good there and I could show my surfing. I was happy that many people commented on about my heat and about my two scores of 10, including Mick Fanning. But now is another contest and I just want to show my surfing here in Rio, without pressure” said Medina, who in July became the youngest surfer to win a WQS Event after his victory over Neco Padaratz at Mole Beach, Florianopolis.

The Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley is the 32th stop of 2009 Men’s WQS Tour and the 101th in Brazil. A lot of surfers who was competing in Guaruja this weekend came directly to Arpoador. One of them is the Brazilian Diego Rosa, who competed yesterday in the quarters and today was in the water competing in the 5th heat of Round of 144.

“After a long time competing and traveling you get used to surf many heats without a break. Earlier physical stress was much higher, but these days the body has already absorbed more quickly. I was one of the last to arrive here in Rio de Janeiro and one of the first to surf this morning here in Arpoador” said Rosa, after qualifying for the Round of 96.

“I’m happy to move on. The waves are very difficult, the luck factor counts a lot because sometimes the ocean gets flat for 5, 10 minutes, so I am glad that I had enough time to wait and surf good waves”. conclued him.

The small waves of the first day of Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley favored the Brazilians surfers at Arpoador Beach, but some foreigners also triumphed on this Monday. One of tham was the surfer from South Africa, David Richards. “It’s always hard to dispute a heat only with Brazilians in Brazil. There are some good waves out there, but hard to find them”.

“The sets are taking too long to come, but when it gives a good wave to surf is good. But it is difficult to compete in these conditions with four surfers in the water. You have to be quick and smart during the heat, if not, you dance, so I’m happy” said Richards.

The younger surfer from Porto Rico, Dylan Graves was another who found his rhythm in the waves of the Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley today. “I’m definitely stoked to have advanced and have caught some waves out there, the drop area is very short and with 3 more surfers in the competition area makes the heat very intense”.

“The vibe here in Rio seems to be good, this is my first time here and this is such a beatiful place with all this mountains, so I have no complaints, this place actually reminds me a San Juan in Puerto Rico, of course with less people, cars and buildings” commented Graves.

Arpoador Beach will receive 144 Surfers from 19 different countries, who are competing for 2.500 points and 145.000 dollars in the Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley. Brazil has 83 competitors, USA fifteen surfers followed by Australia (11), South Africa (8), Hawaii (5), France (3), Porto Rico (3), Spain (2), Portugal (2), Peru (2) and Mexico (2), with eight countries with one surfer each: Ireland, Japan, Tahiti, Reunion Island, Costa Rica, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina.

WOMEN’S DECISION – In the last WQS event of the year, the Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley, a Women’s 5 Star event will receive 48 surfers competing for the tittle and for a spot in ASP Women´s World Tour in 2010.

In Arpoador Beach, ten of sixteen surfers from the Dream Tour will be competing in this big event. The Women’s competition should start on Wednesday or Thursday. With twelve Brazilians in the event, three has chances to classify to the ASP Women´s World Tour and one of them is Claudia Goncalves.

“I’m stocked to still have a chance, but a lot of excellent surfers are coming here to compete, then it will be hard as hell” said Claudinha. “Certainly, for us Brazilians is a little more favorable this event here in Brazil. I’m training a lot, surfing with good boards and I will do everything possible to reach the dream tour next year” promises Claudinha.

She also commented about the victory of Brazilian Silvana Lima over Stephanie Gilmore this week in Australia. “It was awesome. I followed all the heats on the internet and Silvana was ripping. Certainly she will be the first to bring a world title for Brazil” bet Claudinha. Silvana will be one of the main attractions in Rio de Janeiro this week.

The next call will be tomorrow at 7am for a 7:30 start.

The 2009 Rio Surf Pro International presented by Oakley are sponsored by Oakley and Skol, with co-sponsor by Metrô Rio, Rio de Janeiro State Government, Rio de Janeiro City Hall, Azul Airlines, Suzuki, WQSurf and Sandalias Ipanema RJ.

DEE WHY, New South Wales (Wednesday, September 30, 2009) – The opening day of the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic saw current ASP World No. 5 Melanie Bartels (HAW), 27, and reigning two-time ASP Women’s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 21, lead the world’s best women’s surfers through Round 1 in two-to-three foot (1 metre) surf at Dee Why.

“I wasn’t really focusing on redemption over Wright, but it was more about shaking off the first heat nerves,” Gilmore said. “Chelsea (Hedges) and Tyler are a couple of my favorite surfers and Tyler did so well here last year, so I guess it felt good to come back with a win after a long break. It’s a bit disappointing that we’re not surfing at the point this morning, but it’s (Dee Why) a great wave and who knows what’s going to happen later in the week, maybe we’ll be up at the point for the Final, that’d be awesome.”

Although the talented regular-footer felt pressure entering the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic after a long mid-year break, Gilmore showed no sign of nerves and the poise shown by the defending ASP Women’s World Champion carried her directly through to Round 3.

“I think there is pressure after such a long break,” Gilmore said. “There’s sort of that safety net of Round 2, but I wanted to go out there and surf hard and my equipment is amazing at the moment and I’m stoked to be through to Round 3.”

Aside from the pressure of returning to contest mode after a long break, Gilmore also expressed the weight of entering an ASP Women’s World Tour event as the top seed.

“The pressure is always sort of there if you’re within the top five on the ratings, especially when you’re No. 1,” Gilmore said. “You’re expected to be fit and ready to go. I’m feeling fit and happy and I’m excited to be back in the action.”

Gilmore will have a Round 3 rematch against Wright when competition resumes.

Bartels surfed impressively throughout her entire opening round heat, but found her two best waves in the back half of her bout to claim the highest heat total of the day, an impressive 15.25 out of 20, while capitalizing on a rare barrel, leaving fellow competitors Rosanne Hodge (ZAF), 22, and Amee Donohe (AUS), 28, needing a combination of scores to top the Hawaiian standout.

“I’d been eyeing that little barrel out there,” Bartels said. “I was just waiting and that wave came to me and I was able to find that little barrel which gave me the good score. It’s been such a long time between events that I forgot I was surfing in a contest out there. I just tried to get a wave and surf.”

The explosive Hawaiian veteran started her year off strong with a runner up finish at the Roxy Pro Gold Coast before suffering a 17th place finish at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. Bartels was elated to advance directly through to Round 3 at Dee Why and get the second half of her season off in the right direction.

“Bells is a very hard wave and it was really small when we surfed it, so it was tough for me,” Bartels said. “The waves out here are offshore and bigger than two-foot, so it’s perfect, I’m stoked.”

The Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic holds a waiting period from September 30 through October 5, 2009. Event officials will reconvene at Dee Why at 7am local time tomorrow to assess conditions for the potential start of Round 2 at 8am.

“There has been a big break on tour so it is somewhat fitting for it all to get back underway with the richest prize-purse on offer,” Beachley said. “It’s wonderful to have support from Australia’s leading bank, the Commonwealth Bank, and I’m looking forward to a terrific start tomorrow.”

After standing on the leading front of competitive female surfing for nearly 20 years, Beachely is now blending her competitive spirit while working hard to continue to create a future for the sport by founding events like the Commonwealth Bank Beachley Classic.

“I really find myself in juxtaposition this time of year,” Beachley said. “Emotionally I am invested in staging a great event but also wanting to compete at the best of my ability. I’m really focused on running a wonderful event for the surfers, sponsors and fans.”

Paige Hareb (NZL), 19, is currently sitting in the No. 3 spot on the ASP Women’s World Tour and is the leading rookie after the first two events. The young New Zealand talent has been keeping busy after the lengthy break by competing on the ASP WQS while spending some of the down time at home.

“It’s been like one big holiday,” Hareb said. “I’ve still been doing the world qualifying series in between but had a three-week break in California and have also been at home a bit hitting the snow!”

Although Hareb exceeded her expectations in the first two events on the 2009 calendar, the young Kiwi is hoping the keep the ball rolling at this week’s Commonwealth Bank Beachley classic and is looking to climb to the top of the ASP Women’s World Tour ratings.

“To be honest I’m surprised,” Hareb said. “I’ll take it though and of course I’m going to try and stay there if not better it.”


There will be an official press conference Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 10:45am at Dee Why Surf Club. Surfers Layne Beachley, defending ASP Women’s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 21, and defending Commonwealth Beachley Classic Champion Tyler Wright (AUS), 15, will be attending.

Mick’s hungry again with leap to #2 in the ratings

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 21 September, 2009 : – - Costa Mesa – Mick Fanning’s resurgence to the winner’s circle was an emphatic one. On the platinum-esque stage of so-Cal’s most high performance surf break, Lower Trestles, the 2007 World Champ scalped the 2009 Hurley Pro Trestles with an intensity that eerily resembled his ASP World Title form.

After taking out Kelly Slater in the semi-finals, Fanning found himself pitted against the always-exciting Dane Reynolds. However, it’s been nearly 2 years since Mick won an event, and with $105,000 on the line for the winner, Fanning wasted no time putting the final in a chokehold. A pair of mid to high 8’s left Dane combo’d, and Fanning officially became the winner of the richest event in surfing history.

“I’m overwhelmed,” Fanning stated. “I guess it’s more about building momentum again this year and getting the hunger back.”  The $105k was obviously nice, but for Mick, it’s the massive leap frog to #2 in the ASP World Tour rankings that makes it exciting. With 4 events remaining, Mick is very much back in the hunt to win the ASP World Title.

We just went from one thing to the next, speaking about life and love and surfing. When we arrived at Thunders, the boat wasn’t there. They were surfing somewhere else. There were a couple of guys out so we unpacked our boards and paddled out. Within minutes everyone went in. We surfed these perfect little 3- to 4-foot barreling lefts with no one out, just us. There were no cameras. No one was watching. We were out there hooting each other into waves. When Gerry’s surfing, you can really just tell just how much he enjoys the actual act of riding waves. When you watch him surf you realize there’s something else going on there beyond what normal humans encounter—like he’s tapped into something that the rest of us are not.

Fifty years from now, Gerry will probably be remembered for his tube-riding, and the way he surfed Pipeline, but I think his contribution to surfing has been more than that. He’s inspirational, not just in the way he makes difficult situations look easy, but in his whole act from head to toe, from sunrise to sunset. There is a relationship he has with riding waves and with being in the ocean, there’s that synergy between the two, and you can just see it.

Surfing Australia Sanction: Australia’s only National Grommet Event Series.

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 16 September, 2009 : – - Australia’s best 16 year and under surfers are amped and ready to unleash their surfing prowess at the opening event on the 2010 Rip Curl GromSearch Series presented by SNICKERS which begins next Tuesday at Jan Juc beach on Victoria’s Surfcoast.
 
With a record 120 field for the Victorian leg of the National series things are sure to be tight for the battle to claim opening series honours. Top 10 surfers from last year’s 16s boys division Connor O’Leary (Cronulla) and Niki Hoskin (Lennox Head) will look to hold off a new wave of competitors including groms that have been elevated from the 14’s division.

Soli Bailey (Byron Bay), Harrison Mann (Torquay), Noah Deane (Coolangatta) and Tylah Hutchinson (Nth. Beaches Sydney) all finished in the top 5 of last year’s 14’s ratings and are poised to challenge in the 16’s division after another year of practice. A year is a long time in grommethood!

Surf Coast residents Harrison Mann with brothers Sam and Jamie Powell (Jan Juc) will lead the local charge with strong support from Phillip Island and Mornington Peninsular surfers trying to keep the title on home soil.

Niki Van Dijk (Phillip Island) heads up the girls division after a stellar 2008/09 season including a last gasp win in the International final. She will be challenged by Coolangatta twins Brodie and Amiya Doyle and Lauren MCaleer (Nth. Beaches Sydney) with crowd favourite Zoe Clarke (Jan Juc) nipping at their heels.

All winners of the 16’s division get an invite to Bell’s for the National Final and following on from last year the highest placed non event winner on the GromSearch Ratings will also get an invite.  Eventual ratings winners of the 14’s divisions will get a two board quiver from one of Rip Curl’s leading shapers.

The ever popular SNICKERS EXPRESSION SESSIONS will be run every day & encourage any participants to have a go with prizes and awards for notable performances from all age groups. Event partners FUEL TV and WAVES MAGAZINE will be covering all the activities…

In a new development for 2009/10 Rip Curl and Strapper Surf have combined to offer an introductory day to competition for any local surfers aged 16 or under.

Dubbed the GROMSEARCH ‘FRESH START’ – the concept is to encourage any young surfers in the region, who haven’t competed at this level before, to bring their gear to the event and have surf. The “GromSearch Fresh Start” surf will be scheduled from 11am on Wednesday, September 23.

“We want to give as many groms as possible the chance to come to the beach and be a part of our event, without being judged under an official contest format,” said Mark Flanagan, Rip Curl Event Manager. “The GromSearch ‘Fresh Start’ is free, all kids will be given prizes and it’ll be a great no-pressure introduction to a surfing event.”

All local surfers are welcome with “on the spot” sign-in at Jan Juc beach before 11am on September 23. The GromSearch ‘Fresh Start is held in conjunction with Surfing Victoria, ensuring safe and suitable conditions for all participants. Please note, the GromSearch Fresh Start is dependent on conditions. Please check ripcurl.com.au or onsite at the Jan Juc contest site on the day for updates.
 
Rip Curl GromSearch Series, Australia’s premier Grommet Surfing Series, is made possible thanks to the support of Rip Curl, SNICKERS, Surfing Australia, Waves Surfing Magazine and Fuel TV.

Big Names Make The Show, Santa Surf Pro Junior to Finish Tomorrow

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 5 September, 2009 : – - Los Realejos, Tenerife Canary Islands — Eight heats were held for the second-to-last day of the ASP Grade-3 Santa Surf Pro Junior, last event of this year’s ASP European Junior tour, taking the prestigious event into its Man-on-man battles leaving three heats only for the final day tomorrow.

From the sixteen men who competed today, four only remain in contention for the title after a series of exciting exchanges and solid scoring battles taking place throughout the day, the consistent three to four foot (1 to 1.2 meter) waves delivering another opportunity for the Under-21 competitors to deliver their best surfing.

After claiming his maiden ASP European Junior title yesterday thanks to his closest ratings rival Jatyr Berasaluce (EUK) loss, the unstoppable Capbreton resident Marc Lacomare (FRA) secured his ticket for the Semifinals of the event, showing he would stay focused until the last minute of the season after besting other ratings top surfer Medi Veminardi (REU) in the Quarterfinals.

I paddled out very relaxed with no pressure at all and I must admit the waves really came to me so I was a bit lucky, Lacomare said. For both heats I managed to be focused while knowing I had not much to lose, we both chose a different peak so it was a real exchange and I think we both gave it our best and I ended winning which is great.

Lacomare, who is aiming at a win in Tenerife, is already guaranteed to be seeded into this year’s ASP World Junior Championships (WJC), and will be watching the intense battle for the final ratings Top 4 taking place tomorrow between potential qualifiers Laborde, Martin and Morais.

I am thinking that Medi (Veminardi), Charles (Martin) and PV (Laborde) are really performing well here so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the guys finish atop, Lacomare said. But I must admit the Portuguese guys have been rising pretty fast and it would be great to see some new faces around. The guys, Morais and Ribeiro, have had a great finish this year and I don’t think they were much expected at this level But they are here and stronger than ever.

Only surfer to counter the French assault today was rising Portuguese rider Frederico Morais (Ericeira, PRT), 17, the solid and stylish competitor besting other inform man of the year Damien Chaudoy (REU) in Quarterfinal No. 3. Morais, whose performance in 2009 has pushed him upfront on the regional stage leading the resistance against France’s domination along with Basque surfer Jatyr Berasaluce (EUK) and fellow Portuguese and 15-year-old Vasco Ribeiro (PRT), will face experienced competitor Pierre-Valentin Laborde (FRA) in Semifinal No. 2 tomorrow.

Guadeloupe native Charles Martin (GLP), 18, who went won the ASP Grade-2 Pro Junior event at Lacanau in August, confirmed he was back for good amongst Europe’s leading Under-21 surfers by making the Semifinals of the event today. Martin, who missed the first part of the year due to school obligations, will wrap-up his 2009 season with a major result whatever happens tomorrow when he faces grand favorite Lacomare in the first semifinal.

Missing a second consecutive final today was Maxime Huscenot (REU), 17, the defending event champion losing to Pierre-Valentin Laborde (FRA) in the last bout of the day in a close heat that saw Laborde get away with the win by less than a point difference. Huscenot, who made his way through to the Man-on-man battles with solid surfing throughout the week, was not able to counter the Hossegor native who has been showing great competitive approach in the event.

Laborde, who landed at Tenerife ranked No. 14 and knowing he would need something close to a miracle to hope for any Top 4 finish, is currently climbing up the ratings heat after heat and could achieve one of the best comebacks ever seen on tour if he wins the ASP Grade-3 event tomorrow.

The heat against Maxime (Huscenot) was really tensed because both of us were going to keep our ASP WJC hopes alive or not, Laborde said. I started fast with a couple of medium scores but I knew Maxime could come back any time so I am glad things stayed still. I know the conditions should remain the same tomorrow and my next opponent Morais is dangerous. I already have my best result of the year so I am happy already, but qualifying for Narabeen would be unbelievable.

The final day of competition will see the crowning of the ASP Grade-3 Santa Surf Pro Junior Sunday, September 6, after the last three heats of the 2009 edition are completed. A call will be made in the morning to decide on the start, at 11.15 AM.
