SUNSET BEACH, Hawaii (Friday, Dec. 1, 2006) – The Roxy Pro Hawaii will crown a champion at Sunset Beach today. Layne Beachley (AUS) could claim world title No. 7.
After waiting several days for conditions suitable to host the world's best women surfers, contest officials have opted for a 12:25pm start today. Three rounds, approximately three and a half hours of surfing, will be run in the four to six foot (one to two metre) surf at Sunset Beach this afternoon.
If Beachley wins today, and world No. 2 Melanie Redman-Carr doesn't make the four-woman final, Beachley will win her 7th ASP Women's World Tour title. If Beachley gets 2nd, Redman-Carr will need a 7th place or better to stay in contention.
Only Beachley, Redman-Carr and reigning world champion Chelsea Georgeson (ASP) are mathematically capable of winning the 2007 Women's World Title. If the world title is not wrapped up today, it will be decided in Maui, the final women's tour stop, next week.
