The Billabong Pipeline Masters has completed the first round and half of the second round in solid, super clean 6-10 foot surf. Running a double heat format in which there are 2 man-to-man heats in the water at the same time, overlapping by 20 minutes, they were able to finish the entire first round and half of the second round of competition.
Some of the days stand out surfers were Michael Pincon of France who scored a near perfect 19.76 out of 20 in the days final heat, local Hawaiian and youngest competitor John John Florence, who at 16 scored a 17.20 combined two wave score, as well as perennial favorites Andy and Bruce Irons. One of the events oldest competitors and certainly the one riding the biggest board, Liam MacNamera was able to win in both his first and second round heats while using a strategy of only going left.
Stay tuned for more info as the contest progresses.
