Contest organizers are going to be pulling most if not all of their hair over the next 12 days, as for the first time in recent memory, the iconic South African point at Jeffrey's has failed to produce a solid swell to greet the world's best.

Yesterday was the first day of the waiting period, and also had the most potential, wave-wise all week. As the top 31 peered out into the sea (and Kelly Slater got a 10 second tube at restaurants in Fiji) the surf world held its breath. The cold South African sea provided nothing but a whimper.

Contest off for today, and judging by the forecast it may not get into the water anytime soon.

Kelly wins again.




And saffa Jordy Smith chimed in on the subject..



Also, on an amusing note, whilst trying to figure out how twitter works, I came across this post from our world number one surfer Adriano De Souza:



Then today, as an apology, the ASP used this photo for their Lay Day posting. Haha.

Who said whining never gets you anywhere?
