Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters postponed

Advertiser Staff

The Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters has been postponed for today.

The event at Banzai Pipeline is the third jewel of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.

Some of those who have qualified after two rounds include world champion Kelly Slater and Andy and Bruce Irons of Kaua'i.

For updates, call 596-7873 or go to triplecrownofsurfing.com.

The Pipeline Masters is the final event of the 2006 World Championship Tour, so many surfers need strong showings to secure their spots for the 2007 WCT. Of the 45 surfers on tour, only the top 27 at the end of the year requalify for the 2007 tour.
