Roxy ASP Women\u0092s World Longboard Championship (WWLC) ASP Women\u0092s World Longboard Tour C\u00f4te des Basques, Biarritz, France July 11-16, 2007<\/p>\n

COOLANGATTA, Australia (Thursday, June 14, 2007) \u0096 The Roxy ASP Women’s World Longboard Championship (WWLC), an event run in conjunction with the Roxy Jam Biarritz in France this July 11-16, will decide the 2007 ASP Women\u0092s World Longboard Champion.<\/p>\n
Last year\u0092s winner, inaugural ASP Women\u0092s World Longboard Champion Schuyler McFerran (USA), will be on hand to defend her title against the 47 other hopefuls eager to earn the sport\u0092s highest honor – a world title.\u0093Winning the event last year was amazing,\u0094 McFerran said. \u0093To have won the first ASP sanctioned title, in beautiful Biarritz; against the best women longboarders in the world… it doesn’t get much better. I am very excited to go back in a few weeks!\u0094<\/p>\n
Claire Karabatsos (FRA), the local hope who placed third last year, the super smooth veteran Belen Connelly (USA) and Kassia Meador (USA), who is also known as the \u0093queen of nose-riding\u0094 are just three surfers in the super strong field expected to figure highly in the fight for McFerran\u0092s coveted title.
\nSo strong is the field it is almost impossible to pick a favorite. McFerran herself found it hard to pick the competitors whom she expects to challenge for her title. <\/p>\n
\u0093Everyone has the chance to win,\u0094 McFerran said. \u0093The girls are surfing so well that you can’t discount anyone. In every heat you will have to give it your best.\u0094 <\/p>\n
The format for the Roxy ASP WWLC is identical to that used by the Foster\u0092s ASP World Tour. Forty-eight surfers will compete in the event \u0096 32 of whom will be seeded surfers from last year\u0092s event, while the rest will be comprised of qualifiers from Roxy events held in Cardiff, California and Phillip Island, Australia, the Kana Miss Cup in Anglet, France and Banana Boat Pro in Noosa, Australia. <\/p>\n
In addition there will be four Roxy wildcards entered in the event. From Round 2, there will be two girls in the water, battling it out in a series of one-on-one match-ups all the way through to the final. <\/p>\n
In addition to the World Title, this year\u0092s event coincides with the 50th anniversary of surfing\u0092s first appearance in Europe \u0096 an appearance which occured at C\u00f4te des Basques the site that now proudly plays host to the Roxy Jam Biarritz every year.<\/p>\n
The Roxy Jam will incorporate a number of free public events, including concerts, art exhibitions, initiatives and workshops as way of celebrating the strong surfing culture in this part of the world.<\/p>\n
The weeklong event promises to be an amazing surfing festival, showcasing the best women longboard surfers from all corners of the globe and the beautiful waves and coastline of Biarritz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
