Billabong Pro Tahiti Day 9 - Highlights from Billabong on Vimeo.
Event No. 5 of 10 on the 2010 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti played host to an incredible day of action, with major shifts in the hunt for the ASP World Title as well as surfers falling off the Dream Tour.
Manoa Drollet, local Tahitian wildcard, caused the upset of the event, eliminating current ASP World No. 1 Jordy Smith from the competition in Round 3. The quiet Tahitian utilized his intimate knowledge of the break and picked off the better set waves to control the heat and come away from with the win.
Enjoy these highlights from Day 9, which saw perhaps the best surf so far and reduced the ASP's top 45 to 32.
