Auch wenn es noch nicht der offizielle Startschuss zu den Billabong Pipe Masters 2014, sondern “nur” die Vorrunden für die Wildcards, so gab es doch ein paar astreine Wellen und spannende Action. Noch ist der Gewinner nicht raus, aber die Karten für Jamie O’Brien stehen gut. Er müsste dann in Runde 1 gegen Gabriel Medina und Mick Fanning ran.
Hier die Ergebnisse:
