//39// Quiksilver Pro France / A Bowlfull of Chile / Billabong Cloud 9 Invitational

Quiksilver Pro France, September 20th - 30th, South West of France
The upsets on the Foster’s ASP World Tour continue. Welcome to shralp surf episode 39. After the elimination galore of favorites in Trestles, Kelly Slater and Andy Irons were the most prominent victims at the 2007 edition of the Quiksilver Pro France. They both lost in round three, Kelly to wildcard Michel Bourez from Tahiti, Andy to Luke Munro. The biggest surprise of the event wasn’t an upset though. It was Greg Emslie from South Africa, reaching the first WCT final of his career. In the final Emslie had to face current world number one Mick Fanning though, who left the South African no chance and clinched his second win of the season. Going into the Billabong Pro at Mundaka, which starts on the second of October, Mick is first, Kelly second, Taj third, Parko fourth and Andy fifth. And stay tuned, cause Mick could claim the crown in the Basque country. //
