Surfers face new format
Surfers on this year's ASP World Championship Tour, including Kelly Slater, and Satellite Beach twins C.J. and Damien Hobgood, will be facing a different kind of pressure.A new format will slice the 45-man field to 33 surfers halfway through the 10-event season, which gets under way today in Coolangatta, Australia, with the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast contest.
Slater, the sport's nine-time world champion from Cocoa Beach, finished sixth last year with one victory (Brazil), although much of his time was spent riding self-shaped, experimental designs that yielded mixed results.
