TEAHUPOO, Tahiti (Sunday, May 13th, 2007) – The Billabong Pro Tahiti will be back in the water this morning with the remaining nine heats of Round 3 before taking on the eight heats of Round 4.
While the surf has remained in the similar size of 3 to 4 feet (one metre), the conditions have become much more consistent, offering competitors more opportunities to showcase the talents.
“We are planning to run through 17 heats of competition today,” Acting Foster’s ASP World Tour Head Judge Dave Shipley said. “The conditions have picked up, and barring anything extreme happening, we should be able to complete Round 3 and Round 4.”
Reigning and eight-time Foster’s ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA) will face ’07 World Tour rookie Gabe Kling (USA) in the opening heat of the day. Also to come in Round 3 will be current ratings leaders on the Foster’s ASP World Tour Mick Fanning (AUS) and Taj Burrow (AUS) as well as defending Billabong Pro Tahiti Champion Bobby Martinez (USA).
Heat 8 of Round 3 will hit the water at 7:30am local time.
All the Billabong Pro Tahiti action will be webcast LIVE on www.aspworldtour.com and www.billabongpro.com.
