Il rip curl pro bells beach si sposta sulla great ocean road

Apr 09, 20070

Con il campo gara privo di onde e pochi giorni al termine del waiting period, i top 45 si spostano lungo la Great Ocean Road, due ore di macchina ad Ovest, nello spot di Johanna dove, dopo tre giorni di riposo per assenza onde, il contest può riprendere.
Onde di un metro glassy e leggero vento offshore hanno permesso lo svolgimento del secondo round e delle prime sei heat del terzo round dove Bede Durbidge a fine heat emerge per eliminare Pancho Sullivan, mentre Bobby Martinez, rookie of the Year 2006 viene eliminaato da Roydon Bryson, uno dei giovani nuovi ingressi del circuito.
Giornataccia anche per Chris Ward, eliminato dall’australiano Danny Wills.
