San Clemente, Calif., April 28, 2007 – The ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior, stop number four on the 2007 ASP North America Pro Junior Series, was won by Australian sensation Brent Dorrington in a star-studded final with Eric Geiselman, Cory Arrambide and Nick Rozsa.

Dorrington, who gained entry into the event as a wildcard, was ecstatic following his inaugural ASP Pro Junior victory.

“I’m so stoked right now as I’ve never done well in a Pro Junior,” Dorrington said. “This win gives me a huge confidence boost heading back over to Australia as the talent level out here is so high.”

After opening up strong in his finals heat, Dorrington was unable to secure a second scoring ride until the dying seconds of the heat.

“I started out really well with an 8.17, but it’s really hard to get waves out there,” Dorrington said. “I knew I needed a pretty average score and I just had to sit there for 20 minutes. That one little left came through at the end there and I just put everything I had into it. I’m so stoked to have pulled this out.”

With his third place finish at the Oakley Pro Junior, Arrambide has rocketed from third to first on the 2007 ASP North America Pro Junior Series. Although disappointed with his finals performance, the prodigious goofy-footer remained optimistic about the rest of the season.

“I just couldn’t get the waves I needed out there in the final unfortunately,” Arrambide said. “I’m happy that I’m leading the ratings now, but I still would have liked a win today. I’ll definitely be doing all the rest of the Grade-2 Pro Juniors this season in hopes of qualifying for the ASP World Junior Championships in Narrabeen.”
