Top surfers waiting for waves on Tavarua
Monday 8 June 2015 | Published in Regional
TAVARUA – The thirteen-day waiting period for the 2015 Fiji Pro started on June 7 and runs through to June 19. The world’s best surfers have arrived in the South Pacific for stop No. 5 on the 2015 Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour, recommencing the season’s race for the world surfing crown. The iconic left hand reef breaks of Cloudbreak and Restaurants off the resort island of Tavarua will challenge this year’s competing field to push the boundaries of innovative surfing to the next level. In terms of swell, current forecast models for the Fiji Pro hint at a very slow start, with the first six days of the waiting period likely to be lay days. Led by the “Brazilian Storm” – Adriano de Souza No.1 and WSL No. 2 Filipe Toledo – the world’s elite surfers will continue their global valuable prize points. “I’m super thankful to be back in Fiji,” De Souza said. “I’ve been here for the past week, warming up around the women’s event. The wave is world class and we’re going to see some amazing surfing at this event.” Toledo, coming hot off an emphatic win in Rio de Janeiro as well as a win at the opening event of the year at Snapper Rocks, was equally enthusiastic about the upcoming Fiji Pro. “It’s been a super solid year for me with a win on the Gold Coast and then at home in Brazil,” Toledo said. “I’m really pumped to be back in Fiji. It looks like we have some great waves forecast for the event and I’m excited to see how everyone is surfing.”
