Looking for a Surf Fix

Not much chance of a wave so if your looking for something to get your surf juices flowing perhaps watching the WQS contest from the Maldives will do it. Quarters start later this arvo with streaming highlights before hand.

There are three Aussies, two Yanks, a couple of Brazilians and a Frenchman left. Quarter final three looks a ripper with Owen Wright, fresh from his junior tour win in the classic waves of Triggs Point against another Aussie and WCT tour vet Dan Ross.

The waves at Pasta Point have been small all week but still running along the reef. Would seem to suit Wright's aerial attack but Ross will have contest experience on his side.

Pat Gudauskas should advance in the first semi and there is a rumour that he may score an injury wildcard in the Brazil WCT coming up in a few weeks. The last semi between Austin Ware and Australian Leigh Sedley could also be a ripper. Both have solid 'QS form over the last year or so.

The webcast is at http://live.coastalwatch.com/sl_default.aspx?eid=15790 . Its not at the WCT standard and is a little bit choppy but its better than nothing.
