Flores Through to Round 4, Boal to Surf Round 3 Battle Tomorrow

SNAPPER ROCKS, Australia (Sunday, March 8, 2009) - Jeremy Flores (FRA), 20, defeated ASP World Tour rookie Nic Muscroft (AUS) today in clean three-foot (one meter) waves at Snapper Rocks, the young Frenchman making the best out of the tricky incoming tide conditions to secure a Round 4 berth in the Quiksilver Pro Gold Goast pres. by LG. Flores, who was the second European to paddle out on Day 3 of competition after Portugal's Tiago Pires (PRT) was ousted by Joel Parkinson (AUS), came up with good surfing to get rid of Muscroft and will now face former ASP World Champion and double-event winner Mick Fanning (AUS).

 

"There were some really good waves all day and it kind of stopped for our heat and went flat," Flores said. "Nic (Muscroft) and I were just struggling to find a good one and I was really stressing out because even if you are surfing well, if you don't get the better wave you are not going to make it."

 

Flores, who placed equal 3rd in the Quiksilver Pro last year, will be facing one of the crowd's favorites when competition resumes, still being confident about his chances to create the upset.

 

"I am going heat by heat right now," Flores said. "I am going to face Mick (Fanning) in next round so it might be the hardest heat but I have already defeated him and I know it is possible. I'll have to get the good waves and stay focused and relaxed. If I surf at my best, I have a chance to beat him."

 

With rumours going around about the event relocating to the world famous pointbreak of Kirra in the next couple of days, Flores will be looking forward to surfing the barreling righthanders half-a-mile from Snapper Rocks if the conditions allow it.     

 

"It would be a dream coming true for me, since I am a kid I have been watching guys surfing and competing at Kirra and it looks unreal so I hope it goes there."

 

Tiago Pires, the Portuguese representative of the ASP Top 45, suffered the assaults of ASP World Tour No. 4 Joel Parkinson (AUS) in Round 3 today, Pires managing to net a good 14.50 point heat tally (out of a possible 20), bot enough to counter Parkinson's high score of 18.50 points.

 

With the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast holding off the second half of Round 3 for tomorrow, the last French and European surfer in the event Tim Boal (FRAà), 25, did not surf today and will have to wait until the event resumes to surf Heat 15 against Adrian "Ace" Buchan (AUS).

Heat 4: Joel Parkinson (AUS) 18.50 pts Def. Tiago Pires (PRT) 14.50 pts
Heat 6: Jeremy Flores (FRA)  12.83 pts Def. Nic Muscroft (AUS) 11.07 pts

Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Storms Ahead at Snapper Rocks

 

 

Pictured: Mick Fanning (AUS), 27, former ASP World Champion and two-time past winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (2005, 2007), was in sensational form yesterday at Snapper Rocks and will look to continue the momentum today as the event runs Rounds 3 and 4.

 

SNAPPER ROCKS, Australia (Monday, March 9, 2009) – The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by LG Mobile is back on in three-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Snapper Rocks with Round 3 recommencing at 8:30am.

 

The opening event of the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast saw the shock elimination of reigning nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 37, by wildcard Julian Wilson (AUS), 20, in the opening half of Round 3 yesterday, and more dynamic match-ups await as the event continues with Round 3 and moves into Round 4.

 

“We’ve watched the tide drop and there are some beautiful three-foot waves coming through at Snapper at the moment,” Rod Brooks, Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Contest Director, said. “We’ll be starting with Heat 9 of Round 3 as soon as possible and continue on with hopes of completing Rounds 3 and 4 today. As the tide continues to drop, we expect conditions only to improve.”

 

Up first this morning will be current ASP World No. 2 Bede Durbidge (AUS), 25, against replacement surfer Jay Thompson (AUS), 25.

ASP Dream Tour Sophomores Ignite at Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast

 

 

Pictured: Jordy Smith (ZAF), 21, 2009 ASP Dream Tour sophomore, exploded in his Round 3 heat today.

 

SNAPPER ROCKS, Australia (Monday, March 9, 2009) – The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by LG Mobile completed the remaining eight heats of Round 3 today in three-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Snapper Rocks, and ASP Dream Tour sophomores Jordy Smith (ZAF), 21, and Dane Reynolds (USA), 23, dominated the day’s proceedings.

 

The opening event of the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast saw the ASP Top 45 light up the rippable banks of Snapper Rocks, and with reigning nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 37, out of competition, the remaining surfers in the event took full advantage.

 

Smith, current ASP World No. 26, survived a hard-fought battle against veteran Taylor Knox (USA), 37, posting the day’s high heat total of a 16.47 out of a possible 20 for his progressive-yet-controlled surfing in Round 3 of the Quiksilver Pro..

 

“Taylor (Knox) is such a great surfer,” Smith said. “If he gets any opportunity, just like we saw on his last wave, he can turn it into a good score. He always surfs really well at Snapper so I was trying to surf a smart heat and find some good waves.”

 

Smith will face current ASP World No. 2 Bede Durbidge (AUS), 25, in Round 4 when competition resumes.

 

Reynolds, who scored the first perfect 10 of the 2009 ASP World Tour season in his Round 2 heat, maintained his command of the Snapper Rocks lineup today, putting in an explosive performance to eliminate Roy Powers (HAW), 28, from Quiksilver Pro competition.

 

“It’s an awesome wave here at Snapper Rocks,” Reynolds said. “I’m stoked to be able to get out there and let loose on a couple. I try to just go out there and surf as if I was surfing my favorite break at home.”

 

Reynolds continues to push the limits of high-performance surfing, effortlessly executing tail-drifts and aerial maneuvers to net the highest single-wave score of the day, a near-perfect 9.40 out of a possible 10.

 

"I try not to think about it until I am out there on a wave,” Reynolds said. ‘Then you get that killer instinct and you really want to tear it up and do whatever you can."

 

The Californian will come up against iconic veteran Taj Burrow (AUS), 30, in Round 4 when competition resumes.

 

When the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast competition recommences, Round 4 will open up with former ASP World Champion C.J. Hobgood (USA), 29, up against ASP Dream Tour sophomore Jihad Khodr (BRA), 25.

Quiksilver Pro Semifinalists Decided in Pumping Coolangatta Beach

COOLANGATTA BEACH, Australia (Tuesday, March 10, 2009) – The Semifinalists of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by LG Mobile were decided today in pumping four-to-five foot (1.5 metre) waves at Coolangatta Beach.

 

The opening event of the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast utilized its third venue today, having used nearby Duranbah Beach for the opening rounds before returning the primary site of Snapper Rocks and finally to today’s Coolangatta Beach where the local boys dominated Round 4 and the Quarterfinals.

 

Mick Fanning (AUS), 27, former ASP World Champion and past two-time winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, was in devastating form this afternoon, defeating Damien Hobgood (USA), 29, in the Quarterfinals with the highest heat total of the day (an 18.53 out of a possible 20).

 

“It was a fun heat,” Fanning said. “I was lucky to get the jump on Damo [Damien Hobgood] at the start. I wanted to wait for a good opening wave and it came. On that 9.93, I went into it and saw it chandelier’ing so I reset my feet and just tried to hit it strong. It went all white and I was lucky it had an opening. It was pretty fun.”

 

Now into the Semifinals, Fanning will find himself battling Coolangatta stable mate Joel Parkinson (AUS), 27, for a spot in the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Final.

 

“Joel [Parkinson] and I have been great friends since we were little kids,” Fanning said. “It will be a really tough heat. We are always pushing each other. Sometimes it’s pretty and sometimes it’s ugly, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. I don’t really know what the conditions will be like tomorrow. All of the maps that I look at said it was going to be a lot bigger than we have seen today. It could be 100-foot or it could be two-foot.”

 

Parkinson, current ASP World No. 4 and past winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (2002), was near unstoppable today at Coolangatta Beach, defeating Chris Davidson (AUS), 31, and C.J. Hobgood (USA), 29, in Round 4 and the Quarterfinals respectively.

 

“My Quarterfinal felt like it was a little bit bigger than my heat this morning – a lot more water moving,” Parkinson said. “My strategy stayed the same, but more effort was needed throughout the heat. It was hard to stay in position, the current out the back is so strong!”

 

Taj Burrow (AUS), 30, current ASP World No. 3, survived a photo finish against Adrian Buchan (AUS), 26, in the last Quarterfinal of the day. Requiring a score with 20 seconds left, Burrow declined the jet-ski assist to the line-up, optioning to sit in front of Kirra Point instead.

 

“I could not find a wave,” Burrow said. “The tide was filling up and I just panicked. I behind the eight-ball for most of the heat. I got kind of a keeper towards the end and my only option was to sit down the end at Kirra Point. A little slab came through and I took off late and it barreled for me and I got a little pump in to squeak out. I definitely threw a little claim in there because I was pretty sure I got the score.”

 

Burrow’s score of an 8.33 out of a possible 10 on the final wave of the day secured his Semifinals berth, but perhaps gave the Western Australian a confidence boost to go all the way this season. Long thought to be Australia’s heir apparent to the ASP World Champions’ Throne, Burrow has failed to secure professional surfing’s ultimate prize, but today’s performance could have set him on the path to glory.

 

“That ASP World Title is the plan for sure,” Burrow said. “I’m doing what I can to make it possible, so I have to tell myself that.”

 

Burrow will now face an in-form Adriano de Souza (BRA), 22, in Semifinal 2.

 

Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 9am at Snapper Rocks for a possible 10am start.

 

The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast will crown a champion tomorrow, and up first will be the local showdown between Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson in Semifinal 1.

Joel Parkinson Claims Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast in Solid Conditions at Kirra

KIRRA, Australia (Wednesday, March 11, 2009) – Joel Parkinson (AUS), 27, has won the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by LG Mobile, defeating fellow finalist Adriano de Souza (BRA), 22, in solid six-to-eight foot (3 metre) surf at Kirra.

 

After a 12-year hiatus, today’s action brought the ASP World Tour back to Kirra for the Finals of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast. Whilst it was not classic Kirra, the challenging conditions at the historic pointbreak offered churning barrels with massive scoring potential.

 

Parkinson, winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast in 2002, was fearless from the outset in the hard-fought Final, collecting an excellent 8.83 out of a possible 10 on his opening ride, breaking his board in the process.

 

“That first wave was a good one but I came down funny on the floater and buckled my board,” Parkinson said. “I came in and just got energized when I heard the score and everyone on the beach really pumped me up. The crowd is awesome. There are so many people. Down here you don’t really see it, but from the water you can see the crowd on the hill and all along Coolangatta and even down Kirra Point. I could hear them roaring – it was amazing.”

 

The hometown favorite would return to the lineup to collect a bevy of high scores, including a 7.50 and an 8.17, before nailing his second perfect 10 of the day, pushing his heat total to an unsurpassable 18.84 out of a possible 20.

 

"I was thinking it has been a long time between drinks [ASP World Tour event wins],” Parkinson said. “Until the hooter blew, I didn’t know what emotion to feel. It's the kind of thing where you're surrounded by a lot of people and it's not until you pull yourself back and you're together with family and friends, that's really when you feel all of your emotions. Right now I'm on a high and I'm buzzing, it will be a few hours to let it all sink in."

 

Parkinson now sits atop the ASP World Tour ratings, in excellent position for his 2009 campaign for the ASP World Title.

 

“There’s still a long way to go and there are a lot of dangerous surfers out there,” Parkinson said. “I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself. It is a long year with a lot of stops [on the Dream Tour]. It is going to be a great year.”

 

De Souza, former ASP World Junior Champion and into his first Final ever in an ASP World Tour event, was unable to find a rhythm against Parkinson, only grabbing a 7.00 out of a possible 10 as a noteworthy score.

 

“I saw Kirra break a couple of years ago but I am too young to have seen it break like it has in the past,” De Souza said. “These are the best waves so far during my time in Australia. I am really glad with everything. Second Place for me is an amazing result. I will just keep trying to do the same thing at the next event."

 

Despite not claiming the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, De Souza’s Runner-Up finish today sees him rocket to No. 2 on the ASP World Tour ratings, putting himself in excellent position for the season ahead.

 

"It was my first Final ever so I’m happy and glad with my performance,” De Souza said. “I will just try to keep focused and determined for the rest of the year. It is amazing for me. It is a big thing that has happened in my life this Final."

 

Mick Fanning (AUS), 27, former ASP World Champion (2007) and two-time past winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (’05, ’07), surfed the heat of the event this morning, narrowly going down to Parkinson, 19.93 to 17.66.

 

“Cyclone Hamish turned it on for us,” Fanning said. “It’s one of those days where you can have one of the best surfs of your life or one of the worst surfs of your life. It wasn’t the best surf of my life, but it was definitely up there.”

 

The incredible conditions provided the ideal forum for the two locals to raise the performance bar, and while the lead flip-flopped several times throughout the Semifinal, it was Parkinson’s perfect 10 that would nail the coffin shut.

 

“I didn’t see Joel’s 9.90 but I saw his 10,” Fanning said. “When his head popped out, I knew. I said to myself I would give that a 10. Congratulations to him, he surfed an awesome heat.”

 

Taj Burrow (AUS), 30, finished Equal 3rd at today’s Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, going down to eventual event Runner-Up De Souza in Semifinal 2.

 

“I felt really lost at sea,” Burrow said. “It was a total lucky dip, then the wind squall came through and it got even more wild and washed out. Every time a wave came that looked any good, Adriano [de Souza] was sitting next to me with priority. I was just really unlucky. Last time I surfed here, I got a perfect 10 as a wildcard, so I have good memories of Kirra. I would have loved a 10 at the end of that heat. I’m just looking forward to the next event now.”
