Welcome back to the 2017 ABA Pro Tour, and what a stop it is to kick things off. After a year away from the tour schedule, we bring the world’s best riders back to one of our favourite waves, Mandurah Wedge in WA for the Good Earth WA Pro presented by Bali Bodyboarding Sun Smart and The City of Mandurah.

With a new year and a new title up for grabs, Western Australia will be one hotly contested event. The young WA amigos will be ones to watch with Davis Blackwell, George Humphreys and Lewy Finnegan continuing to lift their level of riding at their local wave. Chasing down the youngsters will be Ryan Hardy. His riding has risen to another level over the last few years, and after his maiden ABA title in WA in 2015 he will be looking to recapture the trophy. Lets not count out the East Coasters looking to stamp their authority on the event. By the looks of it Jake Stone is back and stronger than ever, Lachie Cramsie and Cade Sharp were close to clinching the title in 2016 and will be looking for vengeance.

Who will take it out? It’s only a matter of weeks away until we find out. For all entries and information head to our website www.abatour.com.au. Filmed By: Todd Barnse – James Strickland – Michael Jennings. Music By: David Ritchie – Beneath the skin.
