Alle warten gespannt auf den Startschuss des Volcom Pipe Pro. Dabei wird vergessen, dass die ASP Tour bereits in China im vollen Gange ist. Der ASP Hainan Classic 2013 hatte bereits den ersten Contesttag und somit Weltpremiere! Ganz nebenbei geht es hier nicht nur um wichtige Punkte, sondern auch um US$ 95,000,- Preisgeld. Allen voran ging der amtierende Asia Champion aus Indonesien Raditya Rondi der eindrucksvoll demonstrierte wo der Hammer hängt.
“I’m stoked to be here,” so Rondi. “I saw this contest on the webcast last year and saw that it was left handers, so I was preparing by going left a lot at home in Bali. I feel so good because I know Kanoa (Igarashi) is very famous, I just tried to catch a lot of waves. I’m stoked to win the heat.”
