ASP 6-Star Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro added to the North America schedule for 2012
The Association of Surfing Professions (ASP) North America Schedule has expanded with the addition of the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro to the roster that is slated to go down at Oceanside Pier in Oceanside, California, from August 9-12, 2012.
The inaugural ASP-6 Star event will be filling up the void that was created in the region after Women’s US Open of Surfing got promoted from the ASP 6-Star status to ASP World Championship Tour event.
The competition will serve as an opportunity for the up-and-coming female talent to get their hands on coveted ASP ranking points, which are crucial to their quest to earn a place within the ranks of the elite ASP World Title contenders.
“The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro is a great addition to the ASP Schedule and we hope this event acts as a building block for additional women’s events in North America,” Jessi Miley-Dyer, ASP Women’s Tour Manager said. “The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will
be a great platform for up-and-coming girls to push their limits against some of the world’s best and we’d like to thank Paul Mitchell and Supergirl for their collaborative efforts to bring this event to life this year.”
Miley-Dyer went on to add that the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro has a lot of significant as it is the only women’s qualifying event in the region and would therefore play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2013 ASP Women’s World Championship
Tour.
The new ASP 6-Star event is scheduled to go down immediately after the final stop on the 2012 ASP Women’s World Tour season, US Open of Surfing, wraps up at Huntington Beach.
The event is expected to attract majority, if not all, of the elite tour contenders in order to capitalise on the opportunity of earning crucial ASP ranking points and solidifying their position in the ASP Top 17 for the next season of the ASP Women’s World
Champion Tour.
The announcement of ASP 6-Star Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro is a positive step by ASP and will definitely help in removing the sense of seclusion that commonly prevails with the female surfing community.
