SURF HIGHWAY 45, Taranaki/New Zealand (Tuesday, April 13, 2010) – Round 1 of the TSB Bank Women’s Surfing Festival has been called on at the backup venue along Surf Highway 45, a 45 minute drive south of the main site of Fitzroy Beach, where offshore three foot (1 metre) waves are breaking along the righthand point.
Stop No. 3 on the 2010 ASP Women’s World Tour season, the TSB Bank Surfing Festival will commence competition this morning with Round 1 hitting the water at 10am.
“We’ve relocated south and found some fun little righthanders today and will Round 1 at 10am,” Dave Shipley, ASP Head Judge, said. “We’ll be looking to complete Round 1 with Rounds 2 and 3 on standby. With the ping tide, we’re expecting conditions to improve but we’ll monitor throughout the day.”
