\nOi, mate. No one got to enjoy the pro today as the The 2013 Quiksilver Pro<\/a><\/strong> got off to a rainy lay day on day one of the waiting period at Snapper Rocks. So the new ASP season has yet to officially start. Apparently, the waves just weren’t cooperating.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall surf in the one-to-three foot (0.5 metre) range and heavy rains have prompted us to call a lay day for competition today,\u201d Rich Porta<\/strong>, ASP International Head Judge, said. \u201cWe have plenty of swell forecast for the window so we\u2019ll wait until we have improved conditions before commencing the event. Next call tomorrow at 6:30am.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
