No Quiksilver Pro France Surf Contest ROUND three today. FIAT EXPRESSION SESSION to run at 11 AM

HOSSEGOR, France (Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2007) – The Quiksilver Pro France Surf Contest, stop No. 7 of 10 on the Foster’s ASP World Tour, will not run today. Three to five foot (one plus metre) peaky conditions have prompted Contest Director Rod Brooks to send out a FIAT Expression Session at 11am.

“Today we will be running the FIAT Expression Session which offers $10,000 dollars prize money,” Brooks said. “We’re waiting for low tide when the waves get a lot bigger, and peakier out the front. We’ve got some jet skis coming around to tow the surfers out into the big outside peak. We’re expecting some big airs and exciting maneuvers, because the wind will be sideshore. Sideshores you don’t tend to get good barrels, or very good conditions for competition, but you get really good conditions for an air show. So we’re having a specialty event today and it should be fun!

When Round 3 resumes World No. 5 Joel Parkinson (AUS) will take on the legendary Mark Occchilupo (AUS) in Heat 1.
