The ASP world tour finally kicks back into life for event 4, the Billabong Pro at J-Bay. This event always seems to get waves although the wind can be an issue sometimes.
It will be interesting to see how the long lay off has effected the surfers. Kelly always seems to be able to switch it on and off as does Mick. Taj will be the most interesting as he was on a roll prior to the break but J-Bay is a place he generally does well at and really suits his style. Interestingly Taj, Mick, Parko and Slater have basically owned this event in the last few years. Between them they have had 40 starts in 13 events for 9 wins, 3 seconds, 7 thirds and 6 fifths.
Parko wont win this year as his foot injury will keep him out. Below is news footage of the wave that has probably killed any chance of him being world champ this year.
