Day one of the three-day Ford Supergirl Pro presented by Paul Mitchell --the largest all-women's surf contest in the world and the only ASP 6-Star event in North America -- saw a field of 88 competitors hit the Oceanside, Calif. waves Friday, with 48 advancing to Saturday's rounds.
Keeley Andrew (AUS), 18, smashed the day's high scores during her American debut, earning an 8.83 for a series of backhand turns followed up with a 7.60 on her forehand. The young Australian will face off against ASP WCT standout Malia Manuel (HAW), 19, in the Round of 48 and is looking forward to gaining the priceless experience that comes along with competing against the world's best surfers.
"I paddled out wanting to catch whatever looked like it'd have half-decent potential for scores and I was able to catch that first left," Andrew said. "It was a good start for the rest of the heat. I just want to get heat experience and surf against the world's best. What more can you ask for?"
The competition continues Saturday (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). The Ford Supergirl Pro is free and open to the public and features athlete meet and greets, giveaways and complimentary hair styling by Paul Mitchell. Bethany Hamilton, pro surfer and subject of the feature film Soul Surfer will be on-site Saturday for an autograph signing from 4 to 4:30 p.m. at the GoBank tent followed by a live concert by Tribal Theory.
