2004 Foster's Men's World Championship Tour (WCT)
Round Four Competition Postponed
Tuesday, July 20, 2004 (Jeffreys Bay, South Africa) The Billabong Pro was postponed today due to small surf. Round four of the Foster's Men's ASP World Championship Tournament (WCT) will meet again tomorrow morning for a possible start, conditions pending.
Inconsistent 1-2 ft (0.5m) waves were breaking this morning, far from the classic J-Bay lines contestants, organizers and spectators want to see. Three days still remain in the Billabong Pro waiting period, and only one is required to decide the 2004 event champion.
Utilizing today's lay-day, many of the world's best surfers are journeying to the nearby wildlife game park of Shamwari, while Shane Powell (Avoca, AUS) and some of his mates have charted a boat to go fishing.
Another decision will be made tomorrow morning by 7:30am (local time).
