Thanks to tropical cyclone Hamish, Quiksilver Pro contest director Rod Broks is planning a possible venue move to Kirra, according to a story on Goldcoast.com.au.
Contest director Rod Brooks said plans were under way to move the primary contest site from Snapper Rocks to nearby Kirra should the massive swell eventuate. “If we are lucky and the swell comes the way (contest surf forecasters) expect it might, then we will be ready for it,” Brooks said yesterday. “It will be the first time back at Kirra for 12 years. The prospect is amazing, but I don’t want people’s expectations too built up. “At this stage it is a 50-50 chance.”
There are only five days left in the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro waiting periods. Come on, waves.
