Round 3 of the Quiksilver Pro France

Solid four-to-six foot (2 metre) waves are rolling in this morning at Culs Nus Beach for the third round of the Quiksilver Pro France. Event organisers are looking at completing round 3 and possibly running rounds 4 and 5 if conditions persist.

“We have good conditions this morning and will commence competition at 8am,” Rich Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “As today looks like it will be the best day of the remainder of the waiting period, we’ll run as much as possible today, potentially setting up a finish for tomorrow.”

Taj Burrow (AUS) will open round 3 surfing against a fellow Australian Daniel Ross.
