Central Coast surfer Macy Callaghan has been confirmed as a wildcard replacement in the upcoming Roxy Pro, on the Gold Coast.
It comes after world number four Courtney Conlogue was ruled out with a foot injury sustained while preparing for the season opening event.
Callaghan finished the 2017 qualifying series in 10th position, narrowly missing out on a spot on the world tour.
The event kicks off at Snapper Rocks on March 11.
