Billabong Pro Teahupoo - Tahiti 2009

May 12th, 2009 by Adam

The Billabong Pro Teahupoo -Tahiti started May 9 and the contest will end on May 20, 2009.  This is event 3 of 10 on the ASP world surfing tour.  The Teahupoo event has completed the first 14 heats of Round 1, but is on hold for right now.  The contest officials have called for lay days this week due to weak swell and poor surfing conditions.

Watch for these exciting Round 2 heats:

Heat 8: Joel Parkinson (AUS) vs. Heiarii Williams (PYF)
Heat 13: Kelly Slater (USA) vs. Aritz Aranburu (EUK)

Other notables to watch in the 2009 Billabong Pro Teahupoo - Tahiti:

Former three-time ASP World Champion Andy Irons (HAW), 30, and Von Zipper Trials Winner Heiarii Williams (PYF) as wild-cards in the 2009 Billabong Pro Tahiti.

    Yeah, that win must have really been a solid for Bobby. $30k looks nice when you just bluffed your way out of a $800k contract days before the economy went to all hell!

    On another note, how many times has Bobby slammed Taj in a final? Mundaka a few years ago springs to mind.

    Nice blog btw…we are running a contest for surf blogs through the magazine, drop by our homepage’s blog if you want to learn more!

    Stay Stoked and Keep Chargin’!
