Pro Tour News

Well Rawlins is killing it, must be due to the amount of quality waves hes been surfing over here of late.
He placed 1st in the Rheo QLD Pro at DBah back in early April, came in 3rd place behind Dave Winchester at the Rheo Newcastle Pro at Nobbies in late April and recently took home 1st place again at the Coastal Real Estate Pro in Warnambool, Vic.
Pretty safe to say he is chopping it up. Check here for full comp writeups

On another note the Shark Island Challenge has had its waiting period pretty much chopped in half, so instead of the 40 day comp period its now down to 20 days. Will be interesting to see how this one turns out as the Island is notoriously fickle. Supposedly all of the top 16 will be there, which contains all of 2 Aussies. However there are bulk Brazilians in the top 16, so fingers crossed they bring along some of their lady friends. Hopefully some Aussies (such as Rawlins, Winny, Kingy) get a few comp spots. My money is on Uri Valadao to take it out (& the world title), he is mental and has previously launched a backflip onto the dry reef. There will be a live web feed so keep your eyes on it from the 1st of July.

Good to see the No6 company jumping aboard as the Island Trial sponsors. Always good to see some new(er) guys supporting bodyboarding.
