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. 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. A period of public consultation that finished in October swellnet margaret river 69 objections, 48 statements of support, and 24 indifferent responses, 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.

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. In typical style the natives are riding longer boards, taking off late and laying a bucketload of rail. When the wind blows onshore in WA it can be relentless with front after sou-westerly front smashing the coast. When that happens, surfing, at least on the open stretches, ain't a pleasant experience. Yet when the wind swings and co-incides with a good swell there's simply no better place to be.

Agree with her mostly. Three Finals have been dominated by John:, andwhile last years loss was a split decision.

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. The Margaret River region hasn't really kicked into gear this autumn, owing to the same factors affecting South Australia and Victoria. While last week delivered quality groundswell for Victoria and South Australia, and the coming week will too, the swell-producing storms have been forming just a little too far east and late in Western Australia's swell window. With the Western Australian swell window extending from south of South Africa, all the way to just south of the Australian continent, it's open to myriad swell sources, but again it looks like we'll see high pressure dominating these swell windows ahead of the first day of competition next Sunday. Western Australia, and more so Margaret River, pumps when strong polar storms project up from the Heard Island region, before being deflected away by high pressure sitting further east towards the Bight. This produces large surf with favourable winds out of the eastern quadrant. Instead, we're due to see a large high setting up south-west of the state during the middle to end of this week, deflecting away any major storm potential for the first day of the waiting period, with a surface trough due to form into a severe mid-latitude low this Friday. Severe low aimed mostly north nestled between two stong highs this Friday.

Marshals will also be located in sensitive areas to provide direction. He stayed on his feet and forced judges to pay the high moments of the ride. A common theme. Swellnet Sessions. It's honest and nothing can top that. It sure isn't to surf. I'm pretty sure those taxpayer funded sponsors would feel likewise and not be feeling suckered, he's still a huge draw card and probably the only name they recognise instantly. Ok Ratso, you make some good points, Kelly must laugh when they pull 'innovative moves' he patented decades ago but my counterpoint to you is, if he's such an inspiration to the generations of Surfers that follow him then where are mainland USA at for competitive Surfers? That makes way for the next crop to come through to compete at the elite level. Pipe master win last year?

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.

I agree with your comment that integrity in sport is of the utmost importance. Our town has been has been trashed by crowds and development. Craig Brokensha. Obviously not all of those care about Surfer's Point necessarily, but for the shire to receive submissions is piss poor. North Point is unnecessary. Weak sauce and, until he gets his shot, JusticeforRamzi. So good to see Gabe back in winning form. I did detect a little more sting in the John John attack, perhaps a bit of wounded pride seeking retribution after the implication Ewing was now the man out at Mainbreak. 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. I shouldn't laugh but did. Pride goes before the fall. Been there, done that! 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.
