    Day Three but Still No Surfing at the Billabong Pro Tahiti

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 10 May, 2008 : - - Teahupoo – As expected, the Billabong Pro Tahiti is off again today. Event officials are not expecting to run Round 1 until Monday or Tuesday, but monitor the conditions each morning nonetheless. Should conditions be contestable, they would not hesitate to lengthen heat times and commence competition.

    Brazil’s Leonardo Neves is among the surfers seeded in early heats who must be prepared for potential competition each morning. “We drive here every morning thinking, ‘It looks flat, it probably won’t be on,’” Neves said. “But at the same time, you never know so you are always filled with expectation. I have been only surfing rights for many months, no lefthand waves, so I want to practice, but where are the waves?”

    Neves, who finished 22nd on the ratings last year, will face against Kai Otton (AUS) and Ricky Basnett (ZAF) in Heat 2.

    Another call on competition status will be made tomorrow morning at 7. The Billabong Pro Tahiti will be webcast LIVE on aspworldtour.com and billabongpro.com
