With the Aussie leg of the ASP World Tour over and the pros heading toward Chopes the time is ripe for a quick heads-up on the early movements.

The ASP World Tour comp that surf spectators look forward to more than any other is nearly upon us. Especially those of us...ahem...I mean those of you sporting a healthy streak of sadism.

The Quiksilver Pro completed the remaining eight heats of round three yesterday in three-to-four foot waves at Snapper Rocks.

The first round of the Quiksilver Pro was completed today in two-to-three feet waves.
