First day of the O'neill World Cup of Surfing with epic conditions.

The second jewel of the BLESSED Vans Triple Crown of Surfing,
the 30th anniversary O'Neill World Cup of Surfing,
got under way with excellent conditions today at Sunset beach.
This is about as perfect as the conditions can get with 6 to 8 feet,
Northwest swell, light tradewinds and sunny skies.
Highlight of the day was,
coming back from a knee injury during recent competition in Brazil, Jamie O'Brien (Haw) with 16.66.
Second best score went to Fabio Gouveia (Brz) 15.66.
Also, advancing to round three with heat wins included Bernardo Pigmeu (Brazil) 3rd place at the Haleiwa event,
Travis Logie (South Africa), Ben Bourgeois (USA), Australians Daniel Ross and Kirk Flintoff, and
Hawaii's own Ross Williams and Brian Pacheco.
Surf should hold pretty much at the same size and conditions to tomorrow and
we should have the second day of the competition starting at 8 am.

whether it is surfing big waves, surfing small waves, sailing, canoeing or swimming.
It is important that we can enjoy ourselves and find peace(Clyde Aikau)."
