GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Thursday, February 23, 2012) – The 2012 ASP World Title Series is just days away from commencement and with the highly-anticipated Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover looming just around the corner, the world’s best surfers are prepped and ready to launch their respective ASP World Title campaigns.
The first of 11 stops on this year’s ASP World Title Series, the Quiksilver Pro is slated to see ASP Dream Tour veterans Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, and Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, start their season with authority as they battle surfing’s next generation of hungry rookies.
Parkinson, a four-time ASP World Runner-Up, has developed a reputation for having a spartanesque training regimen. While admitting to the benefits of physical fitness in competition, the stylish natural-footer feels that his mental-toughness developed over years of competition will aid in his ability to perform at this year’s Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast.
"I've been training to try and get ready, but not as intense as the last few years,” Parkinson said. “I've been surfing heaps too, it's been great. My training and preparation is pretty much all physical, but I've built up a fair bit of mental toughness over the years. I've never really had a problem getting focused for an event.”
Parkinson, a two-time winner of the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (2002, 2009), feels it’s hard to shake the nerves that come along with competing at his local break, but tries to maintain composure for the lengthy season despite the pressure to perform at home.
“I used to get that nervous, excited feeling a few weeks before Snapper, but the year is so long that you try and hold that off as much as you can because once it starts it's hard to stop - it's like a steamroller,” Parkinson said. “I'm sure now that once we're a week away my blood will start to bubble and get I’ll that feeling soon.”
The Gold Coast native has been a perennial threat to the ASP World Title and admits that the elite crown is once again a goal for the year, but is focused on taking one heat at a time in order to achieve success.
“February is too early for me to start thinking about the title race,” Parkinson said. “You've got to start winning heats first, and see where you're sitting mid-year and then you can think about it. Winning the title this year is a goal for sure, but I'm not the only one with that goal."
Jordy Smith, who is entering his fifth season amongst the world’s best surfers, has spent the offseason at his native pointbreak of Jeffreys Bay to dial in his equipment for the season opener at Snapper Rocks while maintaining his high-level of fitness.
"I had some really good waves at home and I've been going to J-Bay a lot to work on my boards for Snapper,” Smith said. “If a board doesn't go good there it's not going to work anywhere. It's such a good wave that you can stand up and feel every little bump in your boards. I've been testing fins as well, seeing which fins work with what boards. I think in my first couple of years I lost some heats because I wasn't that dialed in with my equipment, so I'm just working on eliminating that. I've also been staying fit with some training.”
Smith, a former runner-up at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast (2010), is looking forward to tearing into the high-performance righthander of Snapper Rocks and is hungry to take out this year’s season opener.
“The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast is one of my favourite events,” Smith said. “It's the first event of the year, there's no pressure, everyone's surfing hard and the waves are usually good. They've got a sick trophy too, I got second there once so I'm really going to try and win one.”
Smith has established himself as a serious threat in the race for the ASP World Title and feels the veteran campaigners will return in their usually-dangerous form, but thinks additional young talent will make this year’s ASP World Title race an interesting one.
“I think the World Title race will always have the usual suspects, you can never count out Mick (Fanning) and Joel (Parkinson), and there's always Kelly (Slater),” Smith said. “But I think you're going to see some young guns in there too. I also think Julian (Wilson) is going to go pretty hard this year and give it a crack, he’s been training super hard.”
The South African powerhouse suffered a rib injury while surfing giant Teahupoo in 2011 and is now in top shape to start off the new year.
“I’m feeling better than ever this year, a lot better than last year,” Smith said. “My rib is almost back to 100 percent too. A month ago it was still hurting in the surf a little bit, but now it's feeling good.”
The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast will hold a waiting period from February 25 through March 7, 2012 and will be webcast LIVE via http://quiksilverlive.com/progoldcoast/2012
Running in conjunction with the men’s event will be the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover, the opening event in the ASP Women’s World Title season.

GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Monday, February 20, 2012) – Kelly Slater (USA), 40, 11-time Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Champion, has categorically dominated the sport of surfing for the past two decades. The Floridian has collected an astounding 48 elite tour wins throughout his tenure amongst the world’s best surfers and holds virtually every record the surfing world has to offer.
The question on everyone’s mind at the moment is “will Kelly put in a full year at the elite level of competition to defend his throne?”
Historically coy when discussing his annual plans, Slater’s commitment status of “full-time” to the ASP World Title Series traditionally rests upon his performance at the opening event of the season, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover – an event he’s won on three previous occasions (2006, 2008, 2011).
“There have been years when this approach has been a little frustrating but it’s also sort of a wildcard way of deciding,” Slater said. “I've had good success on the Goldy and this year should be fun again. I can't wait to be there. I'm undecided as to whether I'll apply full time (to the 2012 ASP World Title Series). That's probably no secret. I'll go by feel and whatever feels right internally, I'll stick with that.”
While considered a “citizen of the globe” due to his extensive travels, Slater’s primary residences during this past offseason have been Southern California and the North Shore of Oahu. With an abundance of swell hitting both locations throughout December, January and February, the iconic natural-footer has had plenty of opportunity to ready for the opening event of the year at Snapper Rocks.
“I usually finish prepping for the start of the year by surfing Rincon,” Slater said. “It's easy to tune in boards quickly there to know what you're dealing with. I've been scoring a lot of surf last few weeks. Probably more water time than normal. I haven't been riding shortboards a lot though, focusing on mostly barrels and not necessarily performance so I'll have to tune in to what I'll have to do in Oz.”
Although having recently turned 40, Slater feels few, if any, physical deficiencies and generally believes he is a stronger all-around surfer and competitor than he was when he first commenced his touring back at age 20.
“I have a few nagging injuries but overall I'm pretty good,” Slater said. “I hurt my ribs pretty badly a couple weeks back but they should be okay by Snapper time. I do feel a little bit of issue there, but I'm planning on being healthier and stronger in the coming years. I'm much better all around now than when I was 20. Probably the hold back is the overall desire to improve day to day. I focus more on enjoying my surfing than expanding day to day, but I still get kicked into gear when I see what everyone is working on and doing. Being in the environment on tour with the guys gets you going pretty quickly.”
The 2012 ASP Top 34 will see a historic age disparity of 23 years between the oldest surfers at the elite level and the youngest. As a new generation of surfers readies to do battle on the ASP Dream Tour, Slater is excited to see how performance levels will continue to soar as well as the how the dynamics of the 2012 ASP World Title race unfold.
“Of course I’m excited to see guys like Dane (Reynolds) and Kolohe (Andino) and Gabriel (Medina) and Julian (Wilson) and Miguel (Pupo) and Josh (Kerr),” Slater said. “Then the usual suspects: Joel (Parkinson), Mick (Fanning), Taj (Burrow), etc. We'll surely be hearing talks of ASP World Title threats within weeks and it'll be fun to watch it pan out and see who steps up to the plate and who has trouble dealing with it. It’s always an interesting start to the year.”
The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast will run from February 25 through March 7, 2012 and will be webcast LIVE via http://quiksilverlive.com/progoldcoast/2012
Running in conjunction with the men’s event will be the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover, the opening event in the ASP Women’s World Title season.

“I have a few nagging injuries but overall I'm pretty good,” Slater said. “I hurt my ribs pretty badly a couple weeks back but they should be okay by Snapper time. I do feel a little bit of issue there, but I'm planning on being healthier and stronger in the coming years. I'm much better all around now than when I was 20. Probably the hold back is the overall desire to improve day to day. I focus more on enjoying my surfing than expanding day to day, but I still get kicked into gear when I see what everyone is working on and doing. Being in the environment on tour with the guys gets you going pretty quickly.”
The 2012 ASP Top 34 will see a historic age disparity of 23 years between the oldest surfers at the elite level and the youngest. As a new generation of surfers readies to do battle on the ASP Dream Tour, Slater is excited to see how performance levels will continue to soar as well as the how the dynamics of the 2012 ASP World Title race unfold.
“Of course I’m excited to see guys like Dane (Reynolds) and Kolohe (Andino) and Gabriel (Medina) and Julian (Wilson) and Miguel (Pupo) and Josh (Kerr),” Slater said. “Then the usual suspects: Joel (Parkinson), Mick (Fanning), Taj (Burrow), etc. We'll surely be hearing talks of ASP World Title threats within weeks and it'll be fun to watch it pan out and see who steps up to the plate and who has trouble dealing with it. It’s always an interesting start to the year.”
The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast will run from February 25 through March 7, 2012 and will be webcast LIVE via http://quiksilverlive.com/progoldcoast/2012
Running in conjunction with the men’s event will be the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover, the opening event in the ASP Women’s World Title season.

TV Beleza – Episódio Planejamento da Preparação Física
Com o intuito de auxiliar os atletas de kitesurf estou lançando um programa em vídeo que se chama KITETREINER por Célio Beleza, onde abordará o treinamento físico, a execução de manobras e aulas para alunos iniciantes e velejadores experientes. Nesse primeiro episódio darei ênfase no planejamento do programa da preparação física para atletas profissionais ou aqueles que só querem aprimorar seu velejo.
Ao iniciar o planejamento do programa da preparação física em uma determinada modalidade desportiva, na qual objetiva-se uma elevação gradativa na performance técnica de um determinado atleta, será de extrema importância, identificar quais as valências físicas que compõe a modalidade. Após a identificação dessas valências físicas, deve o preparador físico dividi-las em: gerais, que são todas as qualidades presentes na prática da modalidade, recreativas ou competitivas; e as específicas, que são aquelas valências físicas mais importantes e imprescindíveis para que se possa alcançar uma boa performance desportiva com alto nível técnico.
As adaptações que ocorrem com o treinamento físico no kitesurf servem para aprimorar a coordenação motora, a força muscular, o equilíbrio, a flexibilidade e as capacidades aeróbias e anaeróbias. Sem contar que com essa preparação temos uma melhoria na nossa consciência corporal, na parte psicológica e na profilaxia de lesões, pois nos dias de hoje as “manobras aéreas” e as “rabetadas” estão sendo muito exigidas.
O treino diário deverá ser feito com muita disposição e seriedade em horários certos, pois somente desta forma o atleta deverá alcançar uma boa condição física e um melhor desempenho desportivo.
Para os praticantes do “free surf” ou “free rider” é interessante que façam exercícios físicos complementares como: correr, nadar e pedalar de forma progressiva e individualizada, até se chegar a mais ou menos uma hora de trabalho diário. Fazer aquecimento, alongamento antes e relaxamento depois do kitesurf, é super importante. Desta forma obtêm-se um melhor desempenho no mar, pois o aparelho locomotor esta preparado para receber os exercícios.
Importante salientar que estas informações são somente dicas, portanto todo o treinamento físico a ser desenvolvido, deve ter a orientação e supervisão de um profissional capacitado, neste caso, um Professor de Educação Física preferencialmente da área de treinamento esportivo.
