The Billabong Pipe Masters is on with round one in good conditions. Plenty of big sneaker sets landing on the competitors heads.
The double heat format is being used which gives plenty of action. The current rumour is that the swell will hang around and the event will run three days straight.
Parko and Slater don't surf in round one or two. From the WA point of view Taj misses rounds one and two while Yadin has won his heat. He'll meet Matt Wilkinson in round two.
The action is online and on FuelTV but you have to press the red button to get away from the UFC.

Portugal on
Portugal has started in pretty marginal surf. There is size but it is messy from yesterday's storm. Winning heats will come down to fluking the two good waves a heat. Or if you are Brazilian claiming after each wave (Alejo Muniz) !
Unfortunately as predicted yesterday Taj was sent out to test the conditions and lost. This will basically knock out his slim chances of winning the title this year as he will need to hold a 13th and two 9ths.
As usual its on Fuel TV or webcast.

Billabong Pro
The Billabong Pro Tahiti has started in inconsistent head height surf at Teahupoo.
So far all the top seeds other than Mick Fanning are straight through to round 3. Adriano DeSouza scored 19+ in his heat.
It's an early morning time zone for us and you can watch online, through the Billabong and ASP apps or on FuelTV.

Bazzas
Portugal is pumping again and there are nines and tens everywhere. Currently it is the quarter final between Slater and Alvez.
Already they have finished round three, all of rounds four and five and the first quarter. The current plan is to crown the winner today.
Taj had surfed twice for two wins including in round four where he got a high eight with less than 30 seconds to go. In his quarter he beat Julian Wilson by 0.4 with a nine on his first wave and a high eight in the last minute to match a killer from Wilson that scored a ten.
John John Florence had treated the place like Backdoor Pipe without the consequences and getting shacked of his nut. However he just lost to Bede in a close heat that was starved a little for waves.
The swell is dropping but there are enough waves that almost every losing surfer has at least two eights and every winner a nine.
With Owen Wright and Jordy both out Kelly can put one hand on number eleven with a win.
Six more heats or 250 minutes of water action left. The webcast is consistent as is coverage on FuelTV.
