Quicksilver Pro France – ASP
The Quicksilver Pro 2009 part of the dream tour has just finished.
The event supported by Orange held at the famous Seignosse, Hossegor surf spot – produced some good waves.
Congratulations to Mick Fanning for taking the victory. The win takes Fanning into second and much closer to current tour leader, Joel Parkinson. Fanning who has already won the ASP in 2007 is definately fired up for another tour win and it is now well within his reach and he knows it. Parko is definately going to need to step up his game if he wants to finish out in front. Fannings win at the Trestles Hurley pro and now the Quicksilver pro shows his ability to win again and with 3 events left this really could go down to the wire.
More details can be found at the Quicksilver pro site. The event runs up until next week with the king of the groms event currently in progress.
Check out some footage from the event winner below.
As the season continues we are starting to see the dominance of the Australian surfers. Mick won the final heat against fellow Australian Bede Durbridge. Parko and fellow Australian and tour leader suffered at the feet of Local ripper Patrick Bevan. Overall a great event,

Billabong British Junior Championships
The Billabong Junior Championships are to take place right at the end of summer.
Fistral beach is to host the event on 5-6th September 2009.
The event has 6 categories covering all the age groups under 18. Expect to see some amazing surfing from the UK’s top up and coming surfers. The groms are starting earlier and earlier and get ballesier ever year. If you are down in Newquay this weekend go down and support the event and watch the groms mastering their trade. We might have the next Alan Stokes in there of even the next world champion. The UK finds it hard to match the Americans, Australians and countries with more consistent and peely waves of the Pacific. We will have a British world Champion one day on the ASP.
Boardshop has all you need to kit yourself up for the event. Our Billabong clothing has just arrived and we have some amazing prices on Billabong summer wetsuits. So get down and learn how to surf from the Groms.
