Lay Day Called for Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, Possible Finish Tomorrow

[ 0 ] April 7, 2010 | ASP International

BELLS BEACH, Victoria/Australia (Thursday, April 8, 2010) – With little surf on offer this morning, event organizers have been forced to call a lay day today for the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by SNICKERS.

Event No. 2 of 10 on the 2010 ASP World Tour, the Rip Curl Pro saw a marathon day of surfing yesterday at nearby Winkipop, where the world’s best surfers broke performance barriers through Round 3 and the opening half of Round 4. Today’s projected in surf has forced a lay day, but event organizers are hopeful that tomorrow could see a champion crowned.

“It’s obviously too small to run anything today so we’ve called a lay day,” Damien Hardman, Rip Curl Pro Contest Director, said. “We have a bump projected for tomorrow and we’ll assess where we could possibly finish.”

Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7am for a possible 7:30am start.

When competition resumes, up first will be defending Rip Curl Pro winner Joel Parkinson (AUS), 28, up against compatriot Adrian Buchan (AUS), 27, in Heat 5 of Round 4.

The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach will be televised LIVE in Australia on FUEL TV. For more information, check out http://www.foxsports.com.au/fueltv
