Billabong Pro - Jeffreys Bay, South Africa - July 10-20, 2008

The Billabong Pro's coming to J-Bay here in just a couple of days, and after a nice little rest since the South Pacific leg the boys are fired up and ready to get back at it. Andy Irons is an obvious favorite, and after a slew of quarterfinal results he's more than eager to go a bit further...and by that I mean win the whole damn thing. Mick Fanning's in a similar boat. After making the final at Snapper at the start of the year he's intent on getting back in the saddle. And then there's the surging Adriano De Souza, it'll be interesting to see if he can keep his streak alive. He lit everybody up in Tahiti and Fiji, and now it's time for some quality point-surf. And of course you can't for get about local boy Royden Bryson. Royden, along with the entire South African contingent, have a good chance of knocking anybody out in any given round. And rounding out the crew is rookie sensation Tiago Pires. Stay tuned, shit's going down on the Dark Continent.
