The ASP( Association of Surfing Professions) has been going on for a mere 30 years now. The yearly event gives professional surfers an opportunity to compete against the best of the best. The winner of the the event is awarded with prize money.
Things are certainly heating up for ASP Women’s World Tour. The Movistar Per Classic(Rip Curl) began on Tuesday, November 3rd in Moncora, Peru. Who will take home the home the coveted prize is anyone’s guess, but so far everyone has their bets on Australia’s own Stephanie Gilmore.
Stephanie Gilmore
Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) has dominated the past women’s finals, winning both in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Future stops in the ASP Women’s World Tour include the Gidget Pro Sunset Beach(November 25-December 6th) and Billabong Girls Pro(December 8-20th).
Mick Fanning
Mick “Eugene” Fanning has steadily remained consistent throughout his career. Back in October Fanning won the Rip Curl Pro Search in Portugal. This marks Fanning’s third win. The next competition for the men will surely be one for the record books. The Billabong Pro will take place December 8-20th in Hawaii. Veteran Kelly Slater won the championship back in 2008. Surfers will be vying for the prize of $340,000.
