"I haven't surfed too many heats at home over the course of my career, so I'm really looking forward to this event kicking off," said Carmichael. "I saw Ace win last year and I would love to be able to keep the title in Avoca and make it back-to-back wins for the locals. The forecast looks awesome as well, so hopefully we'll see some amazing surfing over the next five days."
