SNAPPER ROCKS, Queensland/Australia (Monday, February 28, 2011) –With only onshore winds and non-existent swell available this morning at the primary venue of Snapper Rocks, event organizers at the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast called competition off for the day.

The opening events of the 2011 ASP World Title season, the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast completed their respective opening rounds of competition on Saturday, and will wait for conditions to improve before recommencing.

“Competition has been called off for the day due to insufficient swell,” Rich Porta, ASP Head Judge, said. “We’ll return tomorrow morning see if conditions have improved for a possible restart at either Snapper Rocks of Duranbah.”

Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:30am to assess conditions for a possible 7:30am start.

When competition resumes, up first will be Bede Durbidge (AUS), 28, up against wildcard Matt Banting (AUS), 16, in the opening men’s heat of Round 2 and Rebecca Woods (AUS), 26, battling Courtney Conlogue (AUS), 18, in the opening women’s heat of Round 2.
