With only five days left in the event waiting period, and a minimum of four full days needed to run the second to last event on the Foster’s ASP World Tour, Round 1 will likely commence tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 3, 2007.

When competition does commence, 18 of the 48 surfers competing in the event will hail from Brazil. With three wildcards, seven replacement surfers, and eight full time Brazilian Foster’s ASP World Tour competitors in the water, there will no doubt be a huge local backing on the beach courtesy of local fans.

Another call on Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro competition status will be made tomorrow at 7am.
