Carissa Moore (HAW), 18, current ASP Women’s World No. 1, will take on replacement surfer Nikki Van Dijk (AUS), 16, in Round 2 of the Rip Curl Women’s Pro Bells Beach
The second stop on the 2011 ASP World Title season, the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach saw the opening rounds of both the men’s and women’s competition go down in clean, consistent surf yesterday, and will look to put in another banner day with the world’s best surfers. “We’re fortunate enough to have clean three-to-five foot (1 – 1.5 metre) surf on offer again this morning so we’ll be starting with women’s competition at 7:30am,” Rich Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “We’re looking at completing the women’s Round 2 and then running the guys afterwards. Both men’s and women’s Round 3 are on standby for a potential start later this afternoon. Good luck to all our competitors.”
Up first this morning will be Paige Hareb (NZL), 20, and Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), 24, in the opening heat of Round 2.
The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by FORD will be webcast LIVE via www.live.ripcurl.com and broadcast live on Fuel TV in Australia and ESPN in Brazil.
