The world's top junior surfers are getting ready for the new format of the ASP World Junior Title Series. The three-event will crown the best youngsters surfing waves in Bali, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney. "The ASP World Junior Title underwent a major shift last year when we added an extra event to the long-established and hotly-contested Billabong ASP World Junior Championships," says Brodie Carr, ASP International CEO. "The addition of a third event to the series this year provides a more elite and comprehensive vetting process in determining the world’s best junior surfers. This is a title that has been held by the best surfers in the world and is the most respected and sought-after accolade in junior surfing." The men’s ASP World Junior title has been held by the likes of current ASP World No. 1 Adriano de Souza, 24, winner of the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Joel Parkinson, 30, 2010 ASP World Runner-Up Jordy Smith, 23, and the late three-time ASP World Champion Andy Irons, 32, amongst others. Reigning ASP World Junior Champion Jack Freestone, 19, aided by his preferred seeding, is concentrating his efforts on the ASP Star and Prime series this season in an attempt to qualify for the prestigious ASP Top 34.
