Fonte: Surf TotalO swell gigante que invadiu o North Shore da ilha de Oahu impediu o começo da prova devido às ondas de 7m que fechavam em Pipeline.
As previsões apontam para um descida da ondulação nos próximos dias o que deverá possibilitar o início do campeonato.
Esta prova está rodeada de uma enorme expectativa uma vez que irá decidir o título mundial deste ano que será ganho por Mick Fanning ou Joel Parkinson. Além disso, é a última da prestigiada Triple Crown Of Surfing.
