Thursday, 5 December 2013

After seven years of tenacious competition, South Australia's Dion Atkinson is oh-so-close to realising his ambition. Atkinson sits in 30th position and technically inside the cut-off for next year's WCT.

Wed 4 December 9:29am

Sitting in sixth spot on the 'CT rankings and first in the One World system, Julian Wilson had no need to go to Hawaii early and fight for qualification. Following Portugal Jules had an extended break at his Sunshine Coast home, where a lack of swell meant plenty of small wave practice.
