Day 2 of The Wimpy/Rossi Pro-Am saw the Pro quarter finals start off the day. Conditions were a bit onshore but there were still decent 3 - 4 ft peaks. It was decided to run as many heats as possible as there is bigger swell expected for tomorrow afternoon which may or may not work in our favour.

As can be expected of a a contest of this stature, the level of riding was extremely high even in sometimes difficult conditions. Alistair Taylor only got his 2nd wave of his heat seconds before the buzzer to do a massive ARS with an ridiculously smooth landing to claim the heat after being last.

As the heats ticked on some contestants found decent waves with rare sections to advance to the next round, while others found the conditions just to difficult to find the much needed linking waves.

Spectators can look forward to see Vaughn Harris, Sacha Specker, Derek Footit, Chris Elliott, Iain Campbell, Jared Houston, Alistair Taylor and Charles Pass battle it out in the Pro semi finals as they all advanced.

The hotly contested Junior division is also gonna be a feast to watch with the Final line up being Terence Pieters, Iain Campbell, Chris Elliot and Warren van der Merwe.

A coaching clinic was held at 12:15pm sponsored by Factory 7 and The Holiday Club. Chris Elliott, Terence Pieters, Murray van Vuuren, Jake Rosenberg and Sean Tickner all took the time from there contest schedule to lend a helping hand to 12 amped participants who were keen to give bodyboarding a try. A couple participants showed great potential by doing spins and attempting rolls. In the end it was all smiles and they were all only but stoked to receive a contest t-shirt and a cold drink after experiencing one of the best sports on the planet.

Tomorrow morning is expected to be good when the DK & Pro semi finalists will take to the water first at 7:30am sharp. Make sure not to miss the action on Margate Main Beach tomorrow.
