Telstra Drug Aware Margaret River Pro runs from March 20th until March 25th at Surfer's Point, Margaret River. Owen Wright, Stu Kennedy and Adam Melling will be heading west for the event. Good luck fellas.
Update March 20th
Owen comboed the others in his first heat with some nice rail work and a sick backside air rev onto the rocks. “It’s a touch bigger out there so I took out my 6’5 board. I was going for an air on the end section and I saw a rock right there, but I thought I could do it. Then when I landed I was almost on dry reef, I’m lucky I didn’t knock the fins out of my board. I’m stoked with the forecast and even today it was really fun out there. It’s great to be back in Margaret River and win my heat, I lost in the first round last year.”
Mello surfed a smart heat and easily progressed. No good for Stu who went down in a really tight heat only needing a 5.87 .
