Another lay day called for Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro  |  Portuguese

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 30 June, 2009 : - - Imbituba, Santa Catarina -- Another lay day has been called for the Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro, Stop No. 4 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, with only small two-to-three foot (1 metre) waves on offer at Praia Vila this morning.

Swell models are projecting some solid pulses to begin tomorrow and Thursday, and with only two days of competition remaining in the Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro, event organizers will look to finish in the best conditions possible.

“The winds have calmed since yesterday but the surf has dropped as well,” Perry Hatchett, ASP Head Judge, said. “We’ve called competition off for today, but are tracking some swell models that look to be coming from a better direction over the next couple of days so we’ll be back tomorrow morning for a possible Round 3 start.”

Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7:30am to assess conditions for a possible Round 3 8am start. When Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro competition recommences, first up will be defending event champ Bede Durbidge (AUS), 26, up against ASP Dream Tour rookie Michel Bourez (PYF), 23.
