First event of the bb world tour at Pipe is underway. Day 1 ran last night our time. 6-8ft & cracking.
Big talk before the event was that Mike Stewart helped get Jamie O'Brien a wildcard in the event, Jamie reckoned he could get some perfect 10 barrels and make some kind of an impact seeing as bodyboarding isn't that hard. haha

Well he came third in his heat on day one yesterday & didn't progress. Unrucky.
If the waves co-operate, Day 2 should start 19.00 our time tonight (onsdag). Tune in here:

and take a look - there were some absolute pumpers coming through when I watched a bit of day one last night. Sometimes the web-cam work was kinda dodgy, I hope that gets fixed for tonight.
