With a wide open ASP World Title Race and surfers battling to make the August rotation, this year’s Billabong Pro Tahiti is set to be a cracker!

Tyler Wright: ASP Rookie of the Year
Tyler Wright has claimed the 2011 ASP Women’s World Tour Rookie of the Year Award, finishing a season-end 4th amongst the most talented crop of female surfers ever to grace the ASP Top 17. No stranger to the elite level of competition, having already scalped two ASP Women’s World Title events (O’Neill Women’s World Cup in 2010 and Beachley Classic in 2008) as a wildcard, Wright made her presence immediately felt as a full-fledged member of the ASP Top 17 to finish highest on the rankings among her rookie class!

Blood and Glory with Owen Wright
Owen Wright goes hard. There’s no two ways about it. He rampaged through the ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series, terrified the Star and Prime events and vaulted into the Rookie of the Year spot in 2010. With that in mind, Wright opted out of the US Open to further rehab a niggling ankle injury and then took his freshly-rehabbed hoof to Lombok’s infamous Desert Point to warm up for the upcoming Billabong Pro Teahupoo. Amidst a pumping southwest swell, Owen got a closer view of the reef than he would have liked. Tracks Magazine caught up with the current No. 9 on the ASP World Title Series to survey the damage.
