Former world #2 Shane Beschen and 2003 Boost Mobile Pro wildcard poses a real threat to the top WCT surfers. The Boost Mobile Pro presented by Quiksilver (Sept 4-13) Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) www.aspworldtour.com World Championship Tour (WCT) Press Release Competition Set To Commence Tomorrow September 3, 2003 (San Clemente, CA, USA) The Boost Mobile Pro of Surf presented by Quiksilver is set to commence tomorrow morning at Lower Trestles, California. Competition days have been locked in for the US$250,000 World Championship Tournament (WCT) and wildcards selected for mainland America's most important surfing event. An official welcoming party kicked off the festivities last night at the Fox Sports Grill in The Irvin Spectrum. Invited surfers and VIPs came together for the media launch, though it could be argued scores of beautiful waitresses stole the limelight.... Contest director Mike Parson announced dates on which the Boost Mobile Pro of Surf presented by Quiksilver will be held at Lower Trestles. After consulting with Surfline - the world's premier surf forecasters - September 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th have been confirmed with great waves predicted. State Park permit restrictions don't allow competition to be run on Sunday the 7th, so the event will climax on Monday the 8th. Wildcards for the 2003 Boost Mobile Pro of Surf presented by Quiksilver were also named. Former world #2's Shane Beschen (from San Clemente, but now living in Hawaii) and Rob Machado (Cardiff, CA) are in the mix, together with young standouts Bruce Irons (Kauai, Haw) and Dane Reynolds (CA). With nothing to lose, these four pose real threats to the top WCT campaigners. Another major announcement was Snapple's sponsoring of 'The Snapple Best Damn Airshow'. Eight invited surfers - including reigning world champion Andy Irons and brother Bruce, last year's Expression Session winner Kelly Slater (FL, USA), Taj Burrow (West Australia), Joel Parkinson (Gold Coast, Aus), wildcard Reynolds, as well as two main event surfers who land the biggest aerials during the early rounds of competition - will make up the illustrious field. 'The Best Damn Airshow' will take place on Monday, September 8th in a 45-minute heat. Snapple will award the winner US$20,000 in prizemoney and donate an additional US$10,000 in the second place getters name and 'The Best Damn Airshow' to the Friends of Jason Bogle Cancer Fund, in support of the Hawaiians' battle against cancer. Furthermore, Snapple beverages will be sold on the beach during the entire tournament with all proceeds being donated to the Friends of Jason Bogle Cancer Fund. The Boost Mobile Pro of Surf presented by Quiksilver is sure to highlight some of the most progressive surfing in the world. Images and detailed releases will be posted at the completion of each competition day, with updates available on www.boostmobilepro.com.
