I&#8217;ve had a great year of traveling and free surfing since the 2009 roxy jam. Competitively I&#8217;ve made a few finals and won two contests [and] I&#8217;m feeling good about my surfing and looking forward to the Roxy Jam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biarritz, the cradle of surfing in France when a few overseas\u2019 surfers brought the sport to La C\u00f4te des Basques back in the Fifties, is ready for another 5-day waiting period where both competition and a variety of concerts will once again make the Roxy Jam an exciting, intense and attractive event. <\/p>\n<p>With the ASP World title in sight, Smith will have an advantage over the rest of the international field. Focused, used to the place and the atmosphere of the Roxy Jam as well, Smith knows what it takes to claim the prestigious crown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly feel comfortable paddling out at the Cote des Basques,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThe waves are usually pretty fun for longboarding and its pretty similar to the surf I get at home [but] Anyone I draw in a heat will be a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With local threats and former ASP Women\u2019s World longboard No. 2 ranked athletes Justine Dupont (Lacanau, FRA) and Coline Menard (REU) respectively in 2007 and 2009, the expected thousands of crowds will witness another week of battle with their favorites aiming at bringing the title to Europe and France, what would be a premiere for ASP European Women\u2019s longboarding.<\/p>\n<p>All news, photos and videos highlights available at www.roxy.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roxy ASP Women\u2019s World Longboard Championships (WWLC) ASP Women\u2019s World Longboard title decider La C\u00f4te des Basques, Biarritz &#8211; France July 10 to 14, 2010 2010 Roxy Jam to Host ASP Women\u2019s World Longboard Championships from July 10 Caption: Jennifer Smith (Califonria, USA), two-time and reigning ASP Women&#8217;s World Longboard Champion, returns to Biarritz from &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/2019\/02\/18\/2010-roxy-jam-to-host-asp-womens-world-longboard-championships-from-july-10\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;2010 Roxy Jam to Host ASP Women\u2019s World Longboard Championships from July 10&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-13868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asp-surfing-news","tag-surfing-news-archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13868"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18127,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13868\/revisions\/18127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saltwater-dreaming.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
