2004 Foster's Men's World Championship Tour (WCT)
Round Four Postponed
Sunday, July 18, 2004 (Jeffreys Bay, South Africa) The Billabong Pro was postponed today due to a decreasing swell. Organizers initially placed round four of the Foster's Men's ASP World Championship Tournament (WCT) on hold, but after lengthy evaluation opted to wait for more favorable conditions.

Joel Parkinson (Aus) had the highest heat total in round 3 - 17.73 out of a possible 20 - which sees him coming up against countryman Nathan Hedge in round 4.
|
Inconsistent 2-3 ft (1m) surf was on offer, though bumpy waves faces and the infrequency of sets spoiled any chance of competition being held.
Only one full day is required to complete the 2004 Billabong Pro, with the waiting period running until the 23rd of July.
Another decision will be made tomorrow morning by 7:30am (local time).
Billabong Pro Round Four Heats (1st>Quarterfinals; 2nd=9th receives US$5,000)
H1: Luke Hitchings (AUS) vs. Jake Paterson (AUS)
