The third round of surfing in the Roxy Pro France women's World Championship Tournament was postponed yesterday because of inconsistent conditions at Hossegor, France.

Among the 16 women who have advanced to the third round are Hawai'i's Keala Kennelly, Megan Abubo and Rochelle Ballard.

The final four first-round heats of the men's Quiksilver Pro France were completed.
