Stormy Conditions Force Lay Day for Quiksilver Pro France, Possible Start Tomorrow
      



Dane Reynolds (USA), 25, current ASP World No. 4, will face Kieren Perrow (AUS), 33, and Luke Munro (AUS), 27, in Round 1 of the Quiksilver Pro France.

CULS NUS BEACH, Hossegor/France (Saturday, September 25, 2010) – Heavy wind and rain is cutting through the two-to-three foot (1 metre) lineup at Culs Nus Beach this morning, prompting event organizers to call a lay day for the Quiksilver Pro France.

Event No. 7 of 10 on the 2010 ASP World Tour, the Quiksilver Pro France kicks off the European leg for the elite ASP Top 34 and a projected improvement in conditions could see Round 1 commence as early as tomorrow.

“We have heavy onshore flow and rain this morning and have called competition off for the day,” Richie Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “The wind is expected to abate this afternoon and tomorrow and we’ll be back at 8am to consider commencing competition. We’ll assess conditions this afternoon at both Culs Nus Beach and nearby La Nord to determine tomorrow’s potential venue.”

The Quiksilver Pro France will be the second event to activate the new 36-man ASP World Tour format.
