World Quailfying Series

The '07 SI Pro was more than a Florida event. For every 'CT talent like Damien Hobgood there was a Roy Powers or Mickey Picon.

You could have bet Sunset dominators Andy Irons and Joel Parkinson would duel it out in the final.

Today was tax day. When all the year's payments and expenses are added up, spit out on a spread sheet and presented before you. Did you come out in the black?

We saw the future of women's surfing today, and she's in the form of a 5'10" regularfoot named Stephaine Gilmore.

No matter the size, no matter the conditions, Sunset Beach always offers an entire North Shore bulletin board worth of challenges.

Are you ready to rumble? Ready to watch your favorite surfers take on rows and rows of mountainous whitewater? Ready to see last-minute qualifying heroics and eleventh-hour chokes? And, of course, screaming, stand-up tubes across the infamous Inside Bowl?

On Tuesday, Andy didn't stare anyone down. He didn't lose it much when things weren't going his way. He smiled. He laughed. He simply cruised.

You could almost sense the fear in the competitor's area on Monday. It marked the entrance of the WCT seeded surfers into the event, and the WQS surfers who have been scrapping their way through the event, finally met their ultimate test: the Top 44.

Sunday was a day of business at the Op Pro Hawaii. Tiny conditions made heats seem more like work than usual, and with the WQS elite hitting the stage for the round of 128, a whole new crop of surfers clocked in.
