13/03/2005:// Wildcard surfers Luke Munro and Dane Reynolds will have added experience on their side when they go up against the world's elite in the opening World Championship Tour event of the season in Australia.
The world's best pro surfers are gearing up for the Quiksilver Pro and the women's Roxy Pro which gets underway tomorrow, March 1st.
Munro and Reynolds are both regarded as future stars on the world surfing arena, each of them with big-name scalps already under their belts.
Last year, competing in his fourth WCT event, twenty-two year-old Munro eliminated perennial favourite and former world number four Mick Fanning in round two.
In his next heat, as thousands of spectators lined the shoreline at Snapper Rocks, the explosive natural footer pushed reigning world champion Andy Irons to within half a point, only losing in the dying moments, victim of a tactical ploy by his more experienced opponent.
Reynolds, the 19 year-old Californian teenage sensation went one better, however, causing the elimination of Irons from the Boost Mobile Pro, at Trestles, just months later.
Reynolds has also tasted victory in the 2004 Quiksilver Pro Fiji Trials and, like Munro, is keen to face off against the tour's biggest names when the pair pull on competition jerseys in a week's time.
A rematch with Irons is highly possible for either surfer who, along with the winner of the Quiksilver Pro Trials will each draw one of the world's top three ranked seeds - reigning world champion Irons, 2002 Quiksilver Pro champion Joel Parkinson or six time world champion Kelly Slater.
