More than 300 surfers from around the world are expected to take part in the competition, in its fourth year, with prizes totalling B300,000.
One of the competitors will be Australian surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore, who is also a brand ambassador for Quiksilver.
There will be five divisions in the competition: open short board, open long board, short board women only, groms (up to 16 years of age) and masters division (for over-35s).
Surachet Muangtong, General Manager of Quiksilver Thailand said, “This year, the competition in Phuket will be the last of a series of seven being held around Asia, so this will be the event at which the champions are decided.”
In addition to the surfing events, there will be a surf clinic conducted by professional surfers for anyone interested in learning to surf or to improve their technique, a fashion show, live music and demonstrations of other sports such as skateboarding.
The VIP and Media party will be held at Phuket Graceland on Saturday evening.
