The Billabong Pro J-Bay has started in classic 4 - 6 foot offshore conditions. These are the waves you dream off, long fast open sweeping sections with a tube ride thrown in for good measure.
The heats are bashing through but the last four have been classics. Jordy Smith just smashed his heat, Slater threw a lazy carving 360 to score 15 Plus for his two waves. This was despite his filght being delayed and him not arriving in J-Bay till this morning, with boards but not clothes as his bags are still travelling. He rode a 5'8" ish round tail with five fin plugs.
Taj was next up and ripped out two big layback snaps and a coverup or two. Mick Fanning then tore the roof off some for the highest heat score so far in round one.
As usual for a Billabong event the webcast is top notch but it is also being broadcast live on Fuel TV for those with Foxtel. If you missed it there are heats on demand on the Billabong Pro site.
