Rip Curl Pro Search Puerto Rico Draw Released + VIDEO

Author: Tracks Magazine

The only slots still to be decided will be those of Sponsor Wildcard Dillon Perillo and the Trials winner. Puerto Rico's top-rated surfers and confirmed Trialists Brian Toth, Dylan Graves and Alejandro Moreda are the favorites to win the Trials, and if any of the three of them do in fact win, that would mean Perillo will face Kelly Slater and Dan Ross in Heat 6 and they (Toth, Graves, or Moreda) will face Jordy Smith and Brett Simpson in Heat 5.

In the Women's event, Bethany Hamilton [pictured] is once again the event’s Wildcard. Both Jessi Miley-Dyer and Amee Donohoe are still injured and won't be attending. Also, Sam Cornish declined her spot, so ASP Replacement Number 2, Sage Erickson, accepted. Pauline Ado is the Replacement for the last spot. RIP CURL PRO SEARCH PUERTO RICO WOMEN'S ROUND 1 MATCH-UPS:

Heat 1: Chelsea Hedges (AUS), Melanie Bartels (HAW), Bruna Schmitz (BRA)

Heat 2: Sofia Mulanovich (PER), Paige Hareb (NZL), Nikita Robb (ZAF)

VIDEO BELOW: There's some quality breaks in PR, Gas Chambers, Crash boat are both great examples. Then there is this baby... Rip Curl Twitted that this spot, Middles, could well be base camp. Is it any good? Check it and find out.
