30/05/2007:// Newly-crowned English champion Oli Adams is the lone Briton going into the Sri Lankan Airlines Pro at Pasta Point in the Maldives.
The 22-year-old Cornish surfer is in great form going into the the 5 star World Qualifying Series event which is being staged from June 3 to 9.
Pasta Point is a left-breaking reef which is renowned for serving up world class waves in the Indian Ocean. It breaks in front of Dhonveli Resort.
The vertical and hollow wave faces will suit Adams radical surfing style perfectly and he will be looking to build on a fairly consistent WQS season so far this year.
Adams, from Newquay, will use the event as a warm-up for the forthcoming European Championships in France.
The England squad are in good shape going into the event at Les Cavaliers, in Anglet, later this month.
Despite leading the WQS pro tour, Portugal's Tiago Pires is not included in the top 16 seed list for the event.
Pires leads the rannkings from South African Jordy Smith by just 200 points after 16 events of the 2007 series.
British number one Russell Winter, who is the only UK surfer in the tour's top one hundred is not set to compete in the Maldives.
The 32-year-old is recovering from a knee injury but is expected to be fit for the South African leg of the series in Durban.
And it's been confirmed that Winter will join his fellow Newquay compatriate in the Rip Curl Boardmasters later this summer.
The competition, at Fistral Beach, is being staged between August 7th and 12th and is England's richest surfing contest.
