3/31 – 4/05/09
Drug Aware Pro at Margaret River – West Australia
Okay Occy fans, he’s out but if you’re anywhere near the Drug Aware Pro you should go watch. This is a six-star prime ASP event and probably one of the best on the WQS. No butt wiggling out here, some of the worlds best pros are breaking boards just paddling out. And with larger waves expected for the weekend its only going to get more entertaining.
