Competition was again postponed today in the Xbox Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters due to unfavorable conditions. The US$250,000 World Championship Tournament (WCT) will meet again tomorrow morning for a possible start with the Trials division and selection of eight remaining wildcard positions available for the main event.
Strong easterly winds and 4ft (1.3m) waves out of the north direction were on offer at Pipeline this morning, with only a couple of bodyboarders trying their luck at finding anything good. Heavy rain continues to fall on the north shore, creating less than picturesque Hawaiian conditions.
Competition in the Billabong Pro Maui was postponed this morning due to small surf. The final US$60,000 Women's World Championship Tournament (WCT) of 2003 will begin as soon as conditions allow, with another decision made by 7am (local time) tomorrow.
Inconsistent 2ft (0.6m) surf was on offer at Honolua, with sporadic rainsqualls also plaguing Maui.
