Waiting Game Continues For Predicted Major Swell
Sunday, December 12, 2004 (Pipeline, Hawaii) As expected, the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters continues its wait today as the north shore of Oahu experiences a 'calm before the storm' scenario. A major swell is predicted to arrive tomorrow and continue rising over the coming days, allowing round one of the Foster's ASP World Championship Tournament (WCT) to get underway with main event action.
