Letzen Abend/Nacht wurden die ersten Runden in Haleiwa beim Reef Hawaiian Pro 2011 gesurft. Ein Surfer stand im Rampenlicht. Jack Fresstone sein Name, ASP World Junior Champion sein Titel.
Nach neuen Tagen des Wartens kamen dann doch noch ganz schöne kopfhohe Brecher an der Noth Shore von Oahu an und so konnten schon die ersten 24 Heats durchgebracht werden. Der Plan ist die restlichen Heats in den nächsten zwei Tagen bi Mittwoch zu schaffen. Ein ganz schöner Surfmarathon für die Teilnehmer. Immerhin geht es im die “Krone” Hawaiis –> die Triple Crown of Surfing
Für ein weiteres Highlight sorgte Hodei Collazo aus dem schönen Baskenland, als er den Sieger aus dem letzten Jahr, Joel Centeio, raus beförderte.

“I got lucky in the beginning,” sagt Collazo. “I got a 7.33 on my first wave, so after that I was more relaxed. I knew the other guys needed more big scores. It’s good to have good results in Hawaii. It’s one of those places where normally you’re surfing bigger boards. These contests are more special than the others on the tour.”

Wir freuen uns auf heute Abend…also ab 19:00 Uhr einschalten
