ASP World Tour

After two years of competing on the WQS, Lee Ann qualified for the WCT at 20 years old, the youngest European surfer ever to qualify.

Lee Ann holds it down for France during her rookie year, as the only French surfer on tour. She is currently ranked #14 in the world, but has to take it easy after tearing her meniscus before the Movistar Peru Classic.

We hope to see her fit and firing for the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach this August.

Where do you spend your time between events on the ASP World Tour?

A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Chile early Saturday morning, resulting in a tsunami warning for the East Coast of Australia effective today.

Event organizers, coordinating with the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, were forced to call both the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover and the Roxy Pro Gold Coast events for the day, with the potential tsunami projected to hit at 8:15am.
