There is no doubt that many male surfing fans have been finding themselves paying more attention to the 2011 Roxy Pro Gold Coast and as much as we’d like to think it is due to the massive advances in women’s performance surfing, there is a chance that at least some of this new focus has more do with all that rocket ass bobbing in the lineup at Snapper.
This seems to have gotten the Courier Mail wondering if the whole “sexy surfer girl” thing isn’t going too far.
At the Roxy Pro, at Snapper Rocks, many of the young males interviewed by The Sunday Mail admitted they were watching the heats for the women, rather than for the surfing tips. . . Manu Maier, 20, said he believed it was impossible for beauty not to be a factor in judging the heats. . . “They look great, don’t they? I heard about this surfing competition. I said to myself that I had to get here,” Maier said, as a female competitor turned her back on the right-hand break, her small bikini shrinking to a G-string.

Werd to the third. But seriously, when “judging” womens sports, even if it has no affect on the scoring, looks matter.
“Los Angeles-based surfer Anastasia Ashley cops the most criticism, with one blogger saying: “Anastasia is my favourite hands down for looks. Her talent? She still needs to live up to her hype.”
She is hot bottom line and she does what she wants. Whats so wrong with that ?
