After the last 6 stars in Lacanau, the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) caravan is on its way for the first ever ASP sanctioned event to run in the Azores archipelago, three hours off the Portuguese coast in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, on Sao Miguel Island. A beautiful island completely surrounded by unexplored green fields.
This ASP WQS 6-Star rated event is starting today and running till Sunday, August 30, 2009. The show brings also some of the WCT stars like Tiago Pires or Aritz Aranburu.
Being the seventh of eleven events counting for this year's ASP WQS European Series, the Azores Islands Pro will host an international field of competitors, with 144 athletes answering the call for the premiere. As the year keeps going and the international ratings' race is heating up, the ASP WQS Top 15 will be looking for valuable points counting for their ASP World Tour qualifying campaign.
Miguel Ximenez, our Portuguese team rider, will be running the round of 144 in the heat#20 and he’ll face Erice Rebiere (Fra), Nat Young (USA) and Robertson Gonçalves (Prt).
Current regional No. 1 and international No. 10 Joan Duru (Ondres, FRA), will be much awaited for his start in the event that could give the 19-year-old surfer another precious result for his ASP Top 45 dream to come tru. Duru, who has had an excellent year, leads the European contingent on the international stage at this stage and is in good position to join fellow European stars on next year's ASP Dream Tour.
