The future of Western Australia's premier surfing event is in limbo after swellnet margaret river residents objected to the continued staging of the Margaret River Pro. The annual event has been a fixture on the ASP and WSL calendar more than thirty years, and draws the cream of international surfing and thousands of spectators to Margaret River and the surrounding South West each year. But with the World Surf League's five-year permit to hold the event in Margaret River now up for review, the Shire of Augusta Margaret River has reserved its decision on whether to continue its support for the event from next year on, swellnet margaret river.

Lopsided encounters in wonky ft Mainbreak defined Finals Day today, with the potential of juicy match-ups generally not translating into meaningful competition. Event winner Gabe Medina looked strong from the opening ride, which was the first of the day, a three-turner for a 6. He sealed it with carves into the lip line for a 7. It was Medina's superior leg strength which really set his path to victory - the ability to sit down on an extended bottom turn drive until the section presented itself. Completely unrelated but the importance now of physical conditioning and strength big turns win heats, especially at Margaret River has changed my thinking about the potential advantage of PED's in pro surfing. You could literally see the advantage of holding a rail and turning bigger, withstanding the impact and G-forces of colliding with the end section and it would be no great stretch to imagine how even a tiny physical advantage gained by pharmacological means would mean heat wins. Not that I am suggesting anyone on tour is juicing, just that pro surfing would be no outlier as a pro sport where that would confer an unfair advantage.

Autumn is really kicking into gear around Australia with both the east and west coasts due to be hit by large swells over the coming week. Easter Friday in WA's south-west was big. Not quite Mark Foo's Unridden Realm big, although there wasn't many waves getting ridden when photographer Louis Stone was shooting. So although this gallery is short of people riding waves it gives a great indication of size on Good Friday. To check more of Louis' work visit his website. Yet as good as the surf was at Mainbreak - and at 6'-8' and offshore it was pretty damn good! The Box was throwing out meaty slabs for a hungry horde, amongst them Kelly Slater who attracted an armada of boats and even a heliicopter to document his session. As far as summers go West Oz is having a cracker. While there's been nothing huge they've been copping plenty of mid-range swell with good conditions to boot. Last week our Margaret River reporter, Calvin Best, swum out to his local to photograph a few of the lads at close range.

While the event is fully funded for next year, council support is still required for the competition organisers to access the public land and infrastructure where the competition takes place, swellnet margaret river. For the few that benefit, far too many in the surfing community are negatively impacted. I honestly think your contest reports are slowly sliding up into the upper swellnet margaret river of pro surfing journalism that's ever come.

Hawaii turned on thanks to the perfect, peak season sand or lack thereof and consistent mid-period swell, and over Easter they scored the best run of waves the Surf Coast had seen in six months. Even better, as the tour leaves town the rain and onshore winds are moving back in. However, as the caravan heads west to Margaret River, the run of great competition surf just might be coming to an end.

Event winner Gabe Medina looked strong from the opening ride, which was the first of the day, a three-turner for a 6. Wholeheartedly agree Mr southernraw. Congratulations for everyone's fav Comp Guy Steve on making the Cut Slater is less contentious that Defay this year or Sally last year, strangely Sally is surfing better this year. Forgotten his name. I wonder if he will become surfing's Ricky Henderson toiling in some obscure contests until he's physically unable to surf still thinking he can make it back to the bigs Dont want those surfies clogging up our caboodle walking beaches and winery tours! And boy I'm grateful the locals here have kept saying no to the Wozzle. Share on. Hate it. It was a shock to see him forlornly looking out to sea after being combo-ed. So many proper beasts went unridden but duckdived today. The future of Western Australia's premier surfing event is in limbo after local residents objected to the continued staging of the Margaret River Pro. I still try to catch all his heats, good or bad, been doing it for thirty odd years now, and willing to for one more.

The opening days of the Margaret River Pro provided quality surf with clean conditions, climaxing on Saturday to ft as competitors vied to make the mid-season cut. Since then, a strong low has set up camp right off the tip of Western Australia bringing poor weather and surf along with strong winds. This low will dictate local conditions, bringing onshore winds for most of the week, with successive lay days expected ahead of an improvement in winds and surf on Friday.

Dont want those surfies clogging up our caboodle walking beaches and winery tours! Relevant to the surf pro ,its continued expansion and the cost vs benefit to the community, How so? Minutes later he rode the biggest and bowliest wave of the heat with a big, clean carving top turn and a tail release, then an early hit on the end section. In typical style the natives are riding longer boards, taking off late and laying a bucketload of rail. Re Slater's wildcard and general preferential treatment, I get what some of you are saying: it's a business, and he's the drawcard; he's earned such and such; the GOAT, etc. She got the wave and only needed two clean turns for the score. Article on Margs by non local clueless shit stirrer , actual protests were about the massive resort slated to be built on currently empty headland in tiny beach hamlet rather than disability accommodation or childcare centre in town? Regardless of who finances what, who goes where, who does what It's 10 foot on the sets. His points came from tail release and exuberance in hitting the end section against Connor O'Leary who could not find a decent wave to answer back. Seth bombs - done. You can only bite the hand that feeds you for so long! Kelly will not surf in the Olympics.
