Stop No. 2 of 8 on the ASP Women’s World Championship Tour, the 2013 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro plays a vital role in deciding this year’s ASP Women’s World Champion.

The Drug Aware Margaret River Pro is also the first men’s ASP PRIME rated event for the 2013 season, offering maximum points towards 2014 ASP World Championship Tour qualification campaigns.

“The swell has arrived and everyone is pumped to get underway,” ASP Australasia General Manager Dane Jordan said. “The surf is looking really fun and by day’s end we will have the women’s Quarterfinalists decided and be finished all of the men’s Round of 96.”
