2016 Championship Tour Schedule Released
J’Bay is here to stay baby!
The WSL have released their 2016 tour schedule. Its pretty much same same as past years gone by. You may of heard rumours about J-Bay getting squashed off the tour due to Mick Fanning nearly getting chomped, this puts those rumours to bed as the stella long right hand point break will be staying on tour.
There is one main change for the Australian leg of the tour and thats the inclusion of North Point for the Drug Aware Margret River Pro. North Point fired this year when the event was on, as we saw from some of the edits thats were floating around online. This is a big positive not just for the worlds best but for us the viewers!
The WSL is committed as ever to put the worlds best surfers into the worlds best waves as stated by Kieren Perrow.
“Surfing takes place on the most dynamic and unpredictable playing field in all of sports,” said Kieren Perrow, Commissioner of the WSL. “This year, we’ve witnessed another season of barrier-breaking performances in all kinds of surf and weather conditions. We look forward to an incredible Tour finale for both our men’s and women’s CT in Hawaii and onward to 2016.”
