    The World's Richest-Ever Women's World Tour Event Starts Monday

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 October, 2006 : - -  The inaugural Havaianas Beachley Classic, the richest ASP Women's World Tour event in history, will get underway tomorrow, Monday, October 9, 2006. Awarding US$100,000 in prize money, the Havaianas Beachley Classic will see the event winner walk away US$20,000 richer. Not bad for a couple days work!

    With only three events remaining on the ASP Women's World Tour, this Sydney showdown will have major implications - both for world title contenders and girls looking to requalify for the 2007 tour. It'll be history in the making, so don't miss a minute of it.

    Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), the wildcard who defeated Beachley to win last year's Roxy Pro Gold Coast, will headline arguably the toughest trials field ever assembled for a ASP Women's event. Gilmore, who is currently ranked second behind Miley-Dyer on the World Qualifying Series (WQS), will more than likely qualify for next year's elite tour and would benefit from the ASP Women's World Tour exposure.

    "It's ridiculous," Gilmore said. "The trials are going to be as hard as the main event, the field is stacked and there's only one wildcard on offer. I've only been in one ASP Women's World Tour event this year and I need to get more experience for next year. I really want to win the trials and I'm feeling good, but it's going to be tough."

    ASP WQS No. 6 ranked surfer Leilani Gryde (USA), 1993 world champion Pauline Menczer (AUS), ASP Europe champion Pauline Ado (FRA), along with Nicola Atherton (AUS), Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), Airini Mason (NZ), Kirra Townsend (AUS), Angela Keighren (AUS), Melissa Burt (AUS), Jess Grimworld (AUS) and local star Elle Black (AUS), are the invited Beachley Trialists.

    The Beachley Trials will be staged on October 9, 2006 at Manly Beach with the winning trialist earning a main event berth against current world No.1 Redman-Carr and another yet to be confirmed surfer in the opening non-elimination round of the Havaiana's Beachley Classic.
