Three-foot (1 metre) conditions are on offer at Teahupoo this morning, and round one of the Billabong Pro Tahiti women’s division will commence around 7:30am; the men have been put on standby.
“We’re going to run the first eight heats of the women, starting at 7:30 this morning and reassess conditions around midday, maybe earlier,” contest director Luke Egan said. “Depending on the waves, we’ll either run the first eight heats of the men’s competition or get stuck into the women’s event even further.”
Today is day five of the 13-day waiting period that stretches until May 16, 2006. A minimum of six full days of competition are necessary to run the third event on both the Foster’s ASP Men’s and ASP Women’s World Tour.
