The Billabong Pro has started in clean but small waves. It is offshore and quick but with the odd barrel and big whacking sections. If we rocked up to these conditions you'd be frothing but for the Pros you'd probably question if they would have run today if the waiting period wasn't disappearing so quick.
Round 1 is elimination. No surprises so far and no real outstanding heats.
The Roxy is also running. WA's Georgina Young was knocked out and the only remaining Aussie Chelsea Williams beat the current world champ. She comes up against the other Australian in heat 5. The video from yesterday showed the usual small but clean French summer conditions, ideal for longboarding.

Contest News
Another lay day has just been called by J-Bay contest director "Snips' Parsons. The waves are up to shoulder height but too inconsistent to run the first round. Tomorrow arvo seems to be the next likely start time.
The positive is that they will now run the new contest format and dump the losers in the first round, whilst the top seeds go straight to round 2. Less time to wait for the decent surfers and heats.
If you want a contest fix or your female, the annual Roxy Jam starts in France today. Girls riding mals isn't for everyone but it can be a good way to spend a slow night. Especially if Kasia Meador is commentating.
The contest is the World Womens Longboard World Championship and will run the first round elimination format. Seems women longboarders, most who earn little or nothing from surfing, are a lot less precious about the risk of going home after one heat than the so called elite back half of the men's WCT.
There is only one seeded Australian and a total of three in the event, including WA's Georgiana Young who draws a Hawaiian in round 1.
