TEAHUPOO, Tahiti - The Billabong Pro Tahiti 
presented by Air Tahiti Nui, event No. 3 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, 
has been called off for the day, with only small, two-to-three foot (1 
metre) waves on offer at Teahupoo today.

“Conditions are small today and too inconsistent to justify running with 
so much time remaining in the waiting period,” Luke Egan, Billabong Pro 
Tahiti Contest Director said. “We’re tracking some swell models over the 
next couple of days so hopefully tomorrow yields more promising 
conditions.”

Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:30am to assess 
conditions for a possible 7:30am start.

Surfline, official foreers for the Billabong Pro Tahiti, are calling for 
today’s remnants of the WSW swell to fade before a SE swell fills in 
through the next couple of days.

When competition resumes, up first will be Taylor Knox (USA), 27, up 
against Kai Otton (AUS), 29, in Heat 7 of Round 2.

Nui are available at www.billabongpro.com
