| "Michael (Picon) always does well here and I wanted to make sure I got the first wave on him," Hobgood said. "The last time we surfed against one another was in Indonesia and he got the first wave on me and that won the heat for him. So getting the first wave was my strategy heading into the heat and it paid off. The wave really stood up and allowed me to get a bunch of turns in. There are still good waves out there and this is probably the most contestable I've ever seen Praia Vila. Hopefully the waves stay good tomorrow." CJ Hobgood posted the highest single wave score of the day -- a 9.17. |
