'Stand Up World Tour
The Trials were completed in epic fashion with Tahiti's David Dorrence taking 1st, Hawaii's Pomai Hoapili taking 2nd, Australia's Justin Holland taking third and Atamu Coti rounding out the last spot for the Main Event tomorrow.'
Justin Holland is a 'Breezer' and did well winning all 3 of his heats to go through to the final where he placed 3, enough to get him through to the main event which starts tomorrow.
The photo below was from one of his heats today and they are expecting the swell to pick up tomorrow.
GOOD LUCK Justin !

great effort , is the world tour still coming to Aus? What happens if the trialist get to the big show are they then a walk up starter for the next one and do they get help financially to travel and compete.
Hi,
There is no help financially, most of them pay there own way unless they have sponsors that pay, They also pay entry fees for the event
Go the underdog..
There was even a Kiwi entered this time (Shane Baxter) but he didn't make it past the trials.
Check out how awesome the set up looks
There are some great photos on the Stand up world tour website including main event day one. Worth a look.
