Watermans’ Brianna Cope, 16,  represents a rising tide of younger athletes ready to take on the older guard.  This Kauai native was rated the top NSSA Explorer women’s competitor at 15, models for Roxy and looks up to Alana Blanchard.  She is definitely one to watch for years to come.

The First ASP World Tour Pro Surf Competition on the East Coast

with an Unprecendented $1 Million Prize Purse

New York Welcomes Quiksilver, Roxy and DC This Fall

For 12 Days of Surf, Skate, Music and Fashion

Huntington Beach, Calif. (January 26, 2011)—Quiksilver (NYSE:ZQK) and the Association of Surfing

Professionals (ASP) today announced The Quiksilver Pro New York, set to take place on Long

Beach, New York from September 4-15. The Quiksilver Pro New York will be the 6th stop on the ASP

The event will offer a $1 million dollar prize purse to competitors, an amount unprecedented in

professional surfing. The Quiksilver Pro New York will expand The Quiksilver Pro Global Series,

which also includes The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast in Australia (February 26-March 9) and The

Dustin is already there… for now.

If you could go somewhere, anywhere in the world, at this very moment where would it be?  Would the water be warm, cold or just right?  Would your before and after be spent in the company of friends or in peaceful solitude?  Would you drink beer, wine or simply water?

Comment below and let us know what you’ve set your mind to for 2011.
