ASP Australasia event in Maldives cancelled due to lack of sponsor

Mountain Creek surfer Leigh Sedley will not have the opportunity to avenge his quarter-final loss last June in the WQS 6-star Prime Maldives event since ASP Australasia announced yesterday that it has cancelled their 2010 contest, which was to be held in the Maldives.

Leigh Sedley lost to American Austin Ware by just 0.30 points in the event, a feature in the second-tier tour.

ASP Australasia could not find a sponsor for the contest, which would have entered its 10th year in 2010.

ASP Australasia’s Maldives Surfing Event

The event was created in 2001 and delivered outstanding surf and an exceptional global promotion to the Maldives, which now has a booming surf tourism industry.

Plans are in place to re-instate the event for 2011.
