Billabong Pro: Day 1

Today was the first day of competition in Jeffrey's Bay. The waves were pumping! Timmy Reyes surfed in heat 6 this morning and ended taking 2nd place. Pat & Tanner found themselves in the same heat along with Fred Patacchia. The boys put forth such an amazing performance, Tanner controlled the majority of the heat sitting in first, but in the final minutes of the heat, Freddy P was able to acquire the points he needed to take the win. Crushing for Tanner as everyone on the beach thought he had won the heat. But since round 1 is not an elimination heat, the boys journey here at J Bay continues into round 2. And as a side note, Pat & Tanner's parents made the flight down to J Bay to cheer them on from the sand instead of behind a computer.
