I take it back...

I'll say it again. I take it back. The Billabong Rio Pro doesn't suck. In fact, it's kind of awesome. No, there weren't perfect lines stretching in from the horizon. And waves were anything but consistent. Rather, the waves were big and weird. Conditions were tough at best. But that's what made it interesting. It was thrilling to watch the world's best battle the tricky conditions. Every wave was unique and that left you guessing what the surfer could do on it. AND BARRELS? Thank you wave gods. This contest just got a lot more interesting.
