With an international field of over 40 Men and 16 Women, The Cape Naturaliste Pro will play a huge part in crowning the 2018 WSL Australia / Oceania regional QS Champions. All eyes will be on local duo Emma Cattlin and Duke Nagtzaam who are fresh of runner up finishes at the recent Mandurah Pro. Morgan Cibilic and Sophie Fletcher will be hoping to carry on their form after each taking out the event at Mandurah just yesterday.
