Event No. 1 on the 2007 ASP Women's World Tour
Snapper Rocks, Coolangatta, Australia
February 27 – March 11, 2007
ROXY PRO GOLD COAST HAS GONE MOBILE TO ‘THE SPIT’
Windy conditions this morning but everyone expects the winds to back off and there’s good prospects for Roxy round three action getting under away by mid morning.
COOLANGATTA, Australia (Friday, Mar. 2, 2007) – After holding the women’s Samsung Expression Session in wind-affected conditions at Snapper Rocks this morning, Round 3 of the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Samsung has been relocated to a break 45-minutes north of the contest site known as ‘The Spit.’
"We've had really good reports from ‘The Spit,’” Contest Director Rod Brooks said. “It's at the northern most end of the Surfer's Paradise area. Before you get to South Stradbroke, there's the entrance to the Seaway. At the Seaway, there's a rock wall that protects the boats coming in and out of the Seaway. We've got a report of waves there. We've got a northerly wind now which means it's offshore and we're hoping to run Round 3 of the Roxy Pro at noon."
Winners of this morning’s Samsung Expression Session were Chelsea Hedges (AUS) for ‘Best Wave’ and Megan Abubo (HAW) for ‘Best Maneuver.’ The winners were awarded $2,000 worth of Samsung merchandise.
Pending the Top 17’s arrival at ‘The Spit,’ competition should commence at noon. Unfortunately, there will be no live webcast, but heat by heat updates, video highlights and images will be available later in the day.
