The world's best surfers under 21-years-old have been selected to compete in the highly-coveted ASP World Junior Title. The ASP regions (North America, South America, Africa, Hawaii, Europe, Japan and Australasia) picked their greatest young wave riders to battle each other in three events. These surfers will now shift focus from local events the Oakley ASP World Pro Junior, the first of three surf contests that will decide the 2011 ASP World Junior Champions. Beau Emerton, former ASP World Tour campaigner and Oakley ASP World Pro Junior Contest Director is looking forward to another action packed first stop on the ASP World Junior Tour. "Last year is going to be hard to top with the waves we got," Emerton said. "But we're going to try and pick the eyes out of it again and run some full days at Canggu and then hit the high tide at Keramas towards the end. I'm still dumbfounded by the performance level from last year. "I think some of the World Tour guys would have struggled to win some of those heats, so I can't wait to see what goes down this time around. It's going to a great event!". The Oakley World Pro Junior Bali will run from October 3 - 14. 2011 Oakley ASP WJC Invites Wild Card ASP Billabong - Peterson Crisanto ASP South America Team STAR - Filipe Toledo Girls ASP Australasia Team STAR - Davey Cathels Girls ASP North America Team STAR - Jake Halstead Girls ASP Europe Team STAR - Maxime Huscenot Girls ASP Africa Team STAR - Shaun Joubert Girls ASP Hawaii Team STAR - Kiron Jabour Girls ASP Japan Team STAR - Kan Watanabe Girls
