JEFFREYS BAY, South Africa (Tuesday, July 14, 2009) \u2013 With clean, consistent three-to-five foot (1.5 metre) waves steaming through Jeffreys Bay this morning, competition has been called on for the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, with the first heats hitting the water at 7:45am.<\/p>\n
Stop No. 5 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay is running the new competition format, featuring elimination man-on-man matches from the outset, with yesterday seeing the completion of Round 1 as well as the opening two heats of Round 2.\u201cWe\u2019re sending Curren and Occy out there right now for the Clash of the Icons, starting around 7:15am and then we\u2019ll be straight into Round 2,\u201d Mike Parsons, Billabong Pro Contest Director, said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some nice waves this morning, but the consistency isn\u2019t quite there to call on the dual-heat system for now. We\u2019ll monitor conditions and if it seems viable, we\u2019ll pull the trigger.\u201d<\/p>\n
