With surfing conditions less than optimal, the Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro organisers opted for a lay day yesterday, meaning the nail-biting quarter-finals planned for the day will now take place today or tomorrow.
Rich Porta, ASP International head judge, said, ‘I cannot remember a [previous] time when we’ve run the first four days of a combined event and we’re in a good position to capitalise on the remainder of the waiting period. The swell forecast for this weekend looks promising.’
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
