Inhalt: Quiksilver Pro France, September 20th -
30th, South West of France
The upsets on the Foster’s ASP World Tour
continue. Welcome to shralp surf episode 39. After
the elimination galore of favorites in Trestles,
Kelly Slater and Andy Irons were the most prominent
victims at the 2007 edition of the Quiksilver Pro
France. They both lost in round three, Kelly to
wildcard Michel Bourez from Tahiti, Andy to Luke
Munro. The biggest surprise of the event wasn’t
an upset though. It was Greg Emslie from South Africa,
reaching the first WCT final of his career. In the
final Emslie had to face current world number one
Mick Fanning though, who left the South African
no chance and clinched his second win of the season.
Going into the Billabong Pro at Mundaka, which starts
on the second of October, Mick is first, Kelly second,
Taj third, Parko fourth and Andy fifth. And stay
tuned, cause Mick could claim the crown in the Basque
country. //
