Day4 O’Neill CWC

After yesterdays shift to “Pipe”  The new day dawned with another full day of competition held once again at pipe, morning conditions were stellar with our greatest surfer ever flying the flag, Maz dominated the first heat and moved through to the next round.  Matt Hewitt was the next kiwi up but fell victim to a change in conditions sitting off the peak for most of the heat. Tim Occonor then hit the water looking to emulate MAz and join him as the sole kiwi left but was narrowly pipped by some awesome surfing by the internationals.  WIth  waves breaking through the tide lefts and rights were taken apart in a high performance display.  In the round of 24 Maz the sole remaining Kiwi went neck and neck in his heat and with a minute left and requiring a 7 point ride took off on a hell left unfortunately slipping  on his second move unable to get a connection of his famous backhand verts going. Still a respectable result for the man that has been out of competition for sometime.

The man ' Maz' Stil got it!
