With three days now left in the holding period, organizers of the Op Pro at Haleiwa are about to see their luck turn, as the swell was on the rise all day and much of the North Shore will see 15' plus surf on Monday.
Today the contest rolled on, leaving Avalanche for knee to waist high lefts (yes, you read this correctly, lefts) at Ali'i Beach Park. It's kind of a shame that after slogging it out in mostly depressing surf all year, the WQS guys come to Hawaii and basically find the same smallish contest surf they've been dealing with all year.
WCT hopeful Pat Gudauskas from San Clemente saw his major league dreams probably end today (at least for the '07 tour), as he went down at the hands of Hawaiians Ola Eleogram and Makua Rothman.
I'm betting that Haleiwa will be showing somewhat better form for tomorrow's proceedings, which begin at 8:00 a.m. Hawaii time and can be watched live at TripleCrownofSurfing.com.
