HONOLUA BAY, Hawaii (Monday, December 15, 2008) – Still no surf on offer at Honolua Bay today, prompting Billabong Pro Maui event organizers to call the fifth straight lay day.
Event No. 8 of 8 on the 2008 ASP Women’s World Tour, the Billabong Pro Maui enjoyed a beautiful day of competition last Wednesday, but has been unable to run the final day of competition
“The Bay is flat once again today so no Billabong Pro Maui competition,” Dino Andino, Billabong Pro Maui Contest Director, said. “We have five more days left in the waiting period so we’ll see what’s coming on the swell forecasts but we’ll also be laying the groundwork for contingency plans should we need them.”
While there are no waves today, the ladies of the ASP Top 17 will be snorkeling in Honolua Bay with images available at www.aspworldtour.com by day’s end.
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7am for a possible 7:30am start.
The waiting period for the Billabong Pro Maui will run through December 20, 2008.
The Billabong Pro Maui will be webcast LIVE via www.billabongpro.com
