“The QCC series
will now be made
up of the best
three of three
results from the
remaining three
events”
2014 Chiko
Queensland
Championship
Circuit
With the second stop out of the four-event series
looming, the 2014 Chiko Queensland Championship
Circuit has been anticipated to be the most
thrilling series yet.
This year, the first stop of the series, the Chiko MP Classic, was upgraded
to an ASP 1* Star, however a late change was made to the series to provide
an unhindered pathway to Queensland athletes competing for a Queensland Title. The MP Classic was then separated from the series, heating up the
race for QCC points. The QCC series will now be made up of the best three
of three results from the remaining three events - the Chiko Alley Classic,
Chiko Sunshine Coast Pro and Chiko Burleigh Classic.
The race for the State’s open men’s title recommences on April 26th-27th at
the infamous prestigious point break, Currumbin Alley for the 18th anniversary of the Chiko Alley Classic. Throughout the remainder of the series,
competitors ‘best three of three results’ see’s the top two athletes will once
again get the chance to compete against the world’s best surfers at the 2015
Quiksilver Pro Trials, Snapper Rocks. Last year we saw Coolangatta’s Mitch
Crews, who has now qualified and will be competing in the 2014 Samsung
Galaxy ASP World Tour, take home 1st place of the Alley Classic, leaving big
boots to fill for competitors in 2014.
The series will then head north to the Sunshine Coast and culminated shortly after at the natural amphitheatre that is Burleigh Heads for the Chiko
Burleigh Classic.
