MIDDAY CALL AT JOAQUINA FOR NOVA SCHIN FESTIVAL, BRAZIL

News provided by ASP World Tour on 2 November 2005

Organisers of the Nova Schin Festival presented by Billabong in Brazil have placed the remaining four heats of round one on hold until 12 midday and will look to complete them and perhaps the Foster’s Expression Session in the improving conditions predicted for later today.

After a fantastic day of surfing yesterday at Imbituba, two hours drive south of the home base, the 10th event on the Foster’s ASP Men’s World Tour will look to pick up where it left off and will also look to take advantage of the huge crowd expected due to it being a public holiday here today.

With swell predicted to build over the next few days, organisers are hopeful that the business end of the event will take place in waves of up to two metres (four to six feet) and with the swell direction being favourable for Joaquina, a fun left breaking wave, all will be treated to more of the incredible high performance wave riding that “the dream tour” is renowned for.

Also keeping everyone hanging on the edge of their seats is the showdown for the 2005 Foster’s ASP Men’s World Tour crown between Kelly Slater (USA) and Andy Irons (HAW) and the potential for the crown to be decided here.

The remaining heats of round one include:

Heat 13
Daniel Wills (AUS) vs Luke Stedman (AUS) vs Tom Curren (USA)
Heat 14
Fred Patacchia (HAW) vs Greg Emslie (ZAF) vs Bernado Pigmeu (BRA)
Heat 15
Tom Whitaker (AUS) vs Raoni Monteiro (BRA) vs Guilherme Herdy (BRA)
Heat 16
Peterson Rosa (BRA) vs Kirk Flintoff (AUS) vs Renan Rocha (BRA)

The Foster’s Expression Sessions are an integral part of each event allowing surfers to push the limits as they are not restricted by conventional judging systems. They are encouraged to be creative and are not penalised for falling. The session will last for approximately one hour.
