PIPELINE, Hawaii (Friday, Dec. 8, 2006) – Despite the fact that a solid swell is lashing the coast of the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii it has been deemed that conditions are unsuitable for competition and as a result the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters will not be held today.
The event, the final of 11 on the Foster’s ASP World Tour has a waiting period, which extends until December 20 therefore allowing organisers the luxury of waiting for only the best conditions before sending competitors into the water.
Many are hailing that the draw for this year’s Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters will be one of the most exciting due to the fact that a host of local Pipe specialists have been seeded into the expanded 64 man lineup.
When competition kicks off, it is tipped that these locals, many of whom surf Pipeline on a daily basis, will seriously test the mettle of the established pros and the ensuing matchups will be a spectacle not to be missed.
Throughout the event you can catch all the action LIVE on www.ripcurl.com or www.aspworldtour.com
