Day 1 at Pipe
\nSaturday, 20 February 2010 04:27 <\/p>\n

The first official day of competition has run at the 2010 Turbo Bodyboards Pipeline Pro Presented by Body Glove.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This multi-cultural bodyboarding event attracts competitors from all four corners of the globe, with Brazil, USA, France, Australia, Israel, South Africa and Canada among the many.<\/p>\n

Waves were large in the 6 to 8 feet range and winds varied from light offshore to strong cross shore, pushing the riders in a variety of testing waves.<\/p>\n

Drew Innocend of Queensland Australia, was the most impressive surfer of the day. <\/p>\n

Innocend notched up a 17.60 combined wave total in his round three heat, the highest of the day. This included a near perfect 9.83 score for being spat out <\/p>\n

of a huge Backdoor Barrell and launching into a massive backflip. All of Innocend’s waves were executed with a beautiful precision. <\/p>\n

Finishing second in the heat was Tom Smith also of Australia with 14.83 and in third Daniel Fonesca of Portugal in 10.74.”I saw Tom get a couple of sick waves at Backdoor and I knew that I had to go for it” said an elated Drew Innocend.<\/p>\n

Innocend will have his work cut out, moving into round four against local Hawaiian Kona Kuailani, Sam Bennett (Australia) and Josh Garner (Australia).<\/p>\n

International Head Judge Chico Garritano was impressed with the level of riding on day one.<\/p>\n

“Pipeline shows the power of the surfer and it really separates who chooses the best waves to surf” said Chico. <\/p>\n

“We had some amazing performances from some of the guys that came through from trials who were surfing like the top seeds. <\/p>\n

“Backdoor was more powerful today and this resulted in the higher scores”.<\/p>\n

The event is now forced to take a two day break due to local North Shore regulations, however epic conditions are forecast between Monday and Wednesday of next week so the script is set for a grand showdown.<\/p>\n
