Tahitian, Heiarii Williams, defeated Hawaiian, Mark Healey, in the Air Tahiti Nui Von Zipper Trials, and in process earned a spot into the Billabong Pro Teahupoo. He'll join fellow wildcards into the event Andy Irons and Bruno Santos, as they try to create nightmares for the surfers of the Dream Tour.

Let's hope the main event gets better waves than the trials did, I'd love to see A.I. silence his critics and show what he can do in waves of consequence. This is also the time for Joel Parkinson to prove he's for real this year, Teahupoo isn't necessarily his cup of tea. Although, he did surf a perfect heat at Pipe last year, but those two 10s were rights, and Teahupoo will not have that option. He's going to have to prove he's on the Slater/Irons level in critical barrels with his back to the wave. The waiting period starts May 9th.
