COMPETITION INTENSIFIES AS WORLD TOUR
SURFERS TAKE TO THE WATER AT THE O?NEILL COLD
WATER CLASSIC CALIFORNIA
THE MOST NORTHERN, THE MOST SOUTHERN, THE WILDEST, THE COLDEST &
THE MOST CLASSIC SURF CONTEST ON THE PLANET
Santa Cruz, California, November 3, 2009
The swell might have dropped slightly, but the competition definitely stepped up on this second
day of the O?Neill Cold Water Classic California.
With five ASP World Tour surfers in the water today it was always going to be a day of surfing not
to be missed.
World number three Adriano De Souza came top of his heat – the first in the round of 96 - when
the event started in the Californian sunshine.
“It?s important for me to compete in the California events because I?m living here,” Adriano said.
Talking about his current standing in the world rankings he said: “I didn?t set a goal of being in
third or winning a title this year, but I just wanted to do better this year than I did last year. It?s
great though.”
Timmy Reyes had the heat of the day, finishing with a 9.33 and an 8.50, and making it look both
easy and fun at Steamer Lane.
