It was a mixed bag of surf and results for round one of the Rip Curl E-Pro. There were some big East Coast barrels dominating, and both Dan Redman and Mike Frew’s efforts might see them in consideration for the Red Bull Best Tube Award.
First and Second placed surfers go through to Round 3.
Third-placed surfers go through to Round 2 repechage round.
Fourth-placed surfers are unfortunately eliminated from the event.
Round 2 will be surfed off tomorrow.
