Tyler Wright (Australia), the current ASP World Ranked number 2 surfer, was a shock elimination in Round 3 Heat 9 at the Hurley Australian Open of Surfing at Manly today. Wright struggled throughout her heat held in very small waves and was defeated by relatively unknown international pair Nage Melamed (Hawaii) and Anali Gomez (Peru). As a warm-up event to the coming ASP World Championship Tour, today's loss does not affect Wrights ranking - Her World Championship Tour season begins on March 1st at the Roxy Pro on the Gold Coast.
