AUSTRALIAN LUKE EGAN WINS HIS SECOND QUIKSILVER
PRO TITLE OVER BRAZILIAN GUILHER HERDY
Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000 (MAY 23-June 1)
**Live Webcast on: www.quiksilver.com
Association of Surfing Professional (ASP)
2000 World Championship Tour (WCT)
Tavarua Island, Fiji (Thursday, June 1, 2000). Australian Luke Egan today became the
first surfer to win two Quiksilver Pro titles when he defeated Brazilian Guilherme
Herdy in their 35-minute final out at Cloudbreak 19.15 to 18.00-points. The victory
was his second World Championship Tour (WCT) win of 14 years, after claiming his
first back in 1997 during the Quiksilver Pro G-Land (Java, Indonesia), before the event
was forced to move locations.
Egan, 30, made the most of the deteriorating conditions during the final heat, electing
to catch a few of the smaller waves and build his tally early, while Herdy waited in vain
for the less consistent sets. Though the surf was still in the 6-foot range, increased wind
made the wave faces very difficult to ride, and Herdy was left needing 5.16-points
when the match finished.
"It doesn't get much better," laughed Egan as he boarded the marshaling boat
victorious. 'Having your two best mates sitting there with you (referring to
Australians Matt Hoy and Mark Occhilupo, who were first to congratulate him in the
water). I did it to Occy last year when he won, and he just did it to me Ð it's the best.
In regard to the conditions, he reasoned: "It could have been better. The waves
weren't very good and I decided to catch a couple of little ones and it worked. I just
felt really on today and it's a great feeling."
Speaking about his second Quiksilver Pro title and now being placed second in the
world after today's result, Egan added:
"Yeah, there's something good about thisÉ Fiji Bitter (he joked as a local beer was
handed to him mid-quote). I'm actually stoked to be the only guy to ever win this
event twice and I've won it in two different spots. I feel good about that.
"I've been trying really hard and have made a lot of sacrifices, so I'm going for it (the
world title)."
Herdy, rated 31st in the world at the end of last year, showed his talent in hollow lefts
today defeating Hawaiian Shane Dorian in their quarter-final, American CJ Hobgood in
the semi's, before meeting his match in Egan. The Brazilian is now rated sixth on the
current ratings.
"Congratulations to Quiksilver for doing this contest one more time," said a beaming
Herdy after the final. "I'm so stoked. I didn't win, but second place is very important
for me for the points. I hope next event I have the same luck I had here and surf good
waves.
"Congratulations to Luke, he won the heat and got the best waves. Second place here
is like a dream though. Every surfer in the world dreams about this contest and to be
here. I am one of those guys. I was in the water, was in the final, you know? It was a
close heat and maybe if I had a little bit more time I could have got it, but no problem,
I'm still stoked."
Equal third today went to Americans CJ Hobgood and Cory Lopez. Hobgood was
unlucky during his semi-final with Herdy, as the waves just seemed to stop during the
30-minute clash.
"I just couldn't catch a wave," said Hobgood later. "There were great waves before
our heat, but then nothing came. I felt I could have won, but that's just the way it
goes."
Lopez, who has been suffering from a sore back the past couple of months, surfed
great throughout the event, but similarly to Hobgood, was unable to find the waves he
needed during his heat against Egan. Still, the result has pushed him into third position
on the ratings.
Current world champion and defending Quiksilver Pro winner Mark Occhilupo was
another casualty of Egan today, losing in their quarter-final. The close friends put on a
fantastic performance, however, posting the two highest total scores of the entire
event, with Egan earning a perfect 10-point ride to win the classic battle 26.70 to
25.25-points.
"There was a lull at the start of the heat and I didn't think it was going to turn on,"
explained Occhilupo. "I can't really think of any mistakes I made, maybe just going
that 9.25 ride and letting Luke get that 10! I saw him get that second tube and he
committed himself and deserved to win the heat Ð he surfed insane. I hope he wins; I
pray he wins."
Egan, who did just that, summed up the incredible heat with 'Occy' as follows:
"We surf together a lot and when we get together for a heat we both push ourselves, I
think, and have the all-time heats. It's an eerie feeling when we draw each other, as
you know each other are going to try so hard. It's epic to have great heats like that
with your mate."
Troy Brooks, 21, who entered the Quiksilver Pro as a replacement surfer for Great
Britain's Russell Winter, finished fifth today, losing to Lopez in their quarter-final. In
what was another great match-up, Brooks posted a 9.80-point ride, the highest of any
natural-foot (left foot forward) surfer in the event, though still not enough to advance.
"I saw Cory's 9.40 and thought 'Oh, no,'" explained Brooks. "I needed a good one
and got priority, then that bomb came. It barreled down the whole reef and I just came
out. It does favor Goofy-footers out here, as you have to ride higher up the face on
your backhand. For someone who wasn't expecting to even be in the event, though,
you've got to be happy with fifth."

Round 4:
Herdy Surfs a near Perfect Heat Defeating Garcia
Bassy's Quik Pro Update
Brazilian Guilerhme Herdy woke up on the right side of the bed this morning.
He needed a near perfect heat to beat current WCT points leader Sunny Garcia,
and he got it. Herdy started the heat off with a lengthy tube and he didn't
look back. His wave selection and rhythm left Garcia battling from behind for
most of the heat.
When Garcia did pick off a high scoring ride, Herdy would be
right behind him on the next set wave. Herdy will be surfing against Shane Dorian
in the Quarters. The quarter final match-ups are CJ Hobgood vs. Todd Prestage;
Shane Dorian vs. Guillerhme Herdy; Troy Brooks vs. Cory Lopez; and Occy vs. Luke Egan.
The remainder of the event will be held on a pending swell.
Round Three: Occy conquers slater; Garcia takes out Carroll; Wildcard Brooks beats Taj.
Bassy's Quiksilver Pro Fiji Update Day 4 (Friday May 26)
Current world champ Mark Occhilupo shook the monkey off his back by beating
Kelly Slater in a thrilling round three heat at the Quiksilver Pro Fiji.
Occy was understandablyecstatic after a disappointng loss to Slater last
December in Hawaii. In that duel, Slater pulled a rabbit out of his hat by
nabbing a last minute Backdoor tube, beating Occyin the semis of the
Pipeline event.
Today day in Fiji, the tables were turned. Occy stroked inot a blustery
left and proceeded to tear three big hooks under the lip followed by a
clean inside tube section. A set wave rolled towards Slater as time wound
down. The six time world champ ran out of magic and the horn sounded before
he could get to his feet. "At Pipe last year, i had him (Slater) combo'd
and he got a 10. He's a super freak surfer. This heat was much closer."
explained Occy. "I haven't beaten him in an ASP man on man heat ever in ten
years! I had a mental block there, and I got over it."
Prior to the Occy/Slater duel, current WCT points leader Sunny Garcia
battled with goofy foot power merchant Tom Carroll. Garcia's wave selection
and layback pigdog combos put him on top early, and he remained ther for
the rest of the heat. Carroll pulled into some sectiony tubes that didn't
cooperate. "It was kinda' crumbly out there, and that was probably to my
advantage," explained Garcia. "Tom is an unbelievable tube rider, but with
the wind shutting down the tubes, it helped me out."
Wildcard entrant Troy Brooks gave Garcia's run for the world title an added
push forward when he battled and beat WCT number two surfer Taj Burrow in
the bumpy lefts. Brooks seemed to frustrate Burrow with cunning use of wave
priority as Burrow never found a proper rhythm. Brooks was given the
wildcard spot due to the unfortunate illness of Ruseel Winter of Great
Brittain.
It looks as if the swell is fading, and with only one full day of
competition remaining, the waiting is on for a good solid clean swell.

COMPETITION POSTPONED DUE TO STRONG WINDS
Tavarua Island, Fiji (Thursday, May 25, 2000). The Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000 was today postponed due
to increased wind making a mess of the surf out of Cloudbreak. Four-to-six foot waves were still
gracing the lineup, but with choppy conditions, contest organizers decided to pull the pin on round
three, after originally placing it on hold in the morning.
Reigning world champ Mark Occhilupo takes on six-times ASP world champion Kelly Slater in round three.
A decision will be made early tomorrow morning regarding the continuation of the event.

TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND EVENT WILDCARD TOM CARROLL ON THE RAMPAGE
Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000 (MAY 23-June 2)
Association of Surfing Professional (ASP) 2000 World Championship Tour (WCT)
**Live Webcast on: www.quiksilver.com & www.bluetorch.com
Tavarua Island, Fiji (Wednesday, May 24, 2000). Two-time world champion (1983 & '84) Tom
Carroll (Aus) today caused a major upset when he defeated world number-12 Jake Paterson (Aus) in
perfect 6-foot conditions at Cloudbreak in the Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000. The Quiksilver-sponsored
surfer received a wildcard position into the event and has already proved himself a danger man on the
famed left-hand reef break against the top 45-rated surfers in the world.
Carroll, 38, who retired from full-time competition back in 1994, stated yesterday he believes he could
go all the way to win the Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000. Today's result against Paterson helping to solidify
this, with the kind of surfing that helped to earn him admirers all over the globe. He'll now meet
current rating's leader Sunny Garcia (Haw) in round three.
"Jake's a really tough competitor so I figured out a game plan last night and just put it into action,"
Carroll explained afterward. "I wasn't feeling great this morning in that heat, but I'm stoked to have
gotten through. It's perfect out there."
"I think these competitions always bring the best out of you and I think that's a great thing about
competition," he said yesterday. "I think I can win the event. There's a big mountain there to climb,
but there's a flag at the top and I can see myself up there. I've got to get through a lot of heats first, so
we'll see how I go."
Paterson, 27, who's no slouch when it comes to surfing reef breaks as he proved winning the coveted
Pipe Master's crown in 1998, had no luck today. He managed some explosive top-turns, but when
surfing a hollow reef break like Cloudbreak, tubes are what the judges are looking for to reward the
higher points.
"I knew Tom would be getting barreled and I would have to try and find some," Paterson admitted.
"It's difficult on your backhand, and I just didn't find them. I got smashed out there."
Quiksilver's replacement surfer Troy Brooks (Aus) was another giant-killer today eliminating world
number-10 Nathan Webster (Aus). Brooks was offered his position in the event when Great Britain's
Russell Winter developed a blood infection last week in Tahiti and consequently had to pull out of
Fijian event.
"After I fell on my first wave I was a bit shaken up, but then I managed to get barreled and boost my
confidence," explained the 21-year-old Brooks. "I took a few deep ones and then with 30-seconds to
go I pulled into my second tube on my last ride and was pitched onto the reef and snapped my board
in half."
Brooks, who also competed in The Rip Curl Pro last month, went on to explain how he ended up in the
event, and his thoughts moving into the next round against world number-two Taj Burrow (Aus).
"I was coming over here anyway, hoping if there were any injuries I might get a spot. Then Russell
Winter said he couldn't make it due to a blood infection, and I was the only person here and managed
to get it Ð I'm rapt.
"At Bells (for The Rip Curl Pro) it was my home break so I had confidence from that, plus all of my
friends were there to support me. This is my first time to Fiji and my first experience was seeing 10-12
ft waves at Cloudbreak, which was a bit daunting, especially drawing the world champ in round one.
It's tough, but there's no pressure on me to do well. I'm just going o cruise and hopefully get a few
more good barrels."
Current world champion and defending event winner Mark Occhilupo (Aus) eased past his Fijian
opponent Matia Waqa (pronounced 'Wonga') in their heat, defeating the trials winner 18.15 to
5.75-points. Still, Occy was all praise for the local surfer.
"It was a bit like a free-surf out there then, he didn't really get anything," said Occhilupo. "I was
watching video footage of Matia from the trials last night and he surfed really well. It's a shame more
Fijians aren't able to compete in the event, but I guess that will happen. I take my hat off to him."
Occhilupo will now face six-time world champion and last week's Gotcha Pro Tahiti winner Kelly
Slater (USA) in the most eagerly anticipated match-up of the event so far.
Damien Hobgood (USA) secured the highest total heat score of the day when he defeated South
African Paul Canning 24.55 to 11.00-points. Hobgood's twin brother CJ, also surfed a fantastic heat
over Hawaiian Kalani Robb (23.90 to 21.80-points).
The single highest wave went to American Rob Machado in the last heat against Australian Glyndyn
Ringrose. Machado needed a very good ride within the final minute, before slotting into a perfect barrel
for a near-perfect score of 9.8 out-of-a possible 10-points.

CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION AND DEFENDING EVENT CHAMPION MARK OCCHILUPO BEATEN IN FIRST ROUND
Tavarua Island, Fiji (Tuesday, May 23, 2000). Current world champion and defending event winner Mark Occhilupo (Aus) was
today beaten in his first round heat of the Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000. His opponent, Brazilian Guilherme Herdy, found a great
last ride to score 9.25 out-of-a possible 10-points and advanced straight into round three.
Occhilupo now moves into the 'sudden-death' round two matches, but with conditions remaining in the 6-8 ft range, and sets
still reaching 10-foot, the 33-year-old was excited about the prospect of being able to surf Cloudbreak an extra time.
"I didn't have a very good heat and I think I rode too long a board," he reasoned afterward. "I wanted to swap boards,
but I just got beaten on my last wave when Herdy got that good one. It's alright, I get to surf another heat at Cloudbreak,
so I'm excited about that. The waves this year have been awesome, so we're having a ball."
Herdy was ecstatic about his win, however, explaining that despite many tries, he had never defeated Occhilupo previously.
"I'm so stoked to win that heat 'cause I've had a few heats with Occy and never beaten him," he said. "I got the wave which was
a really good one, with two barrels, not too deep, but real fun. I'm so stoked (laughs)."
Current ratings leader Sunny Garcia (Haw) furthered his world title campaign tod .y winning his first round heat.
Having won the first two World Championship Tour (WCT) events of the year, Garcia bowed-out in the fourth round of last
week's Gotcha Pro Tahiti event, though still managed to extend his points lead. Despite almost drowning while warming up
for the Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000 yesterday, Garcia was in fine-form during his 30-minute bout against Australian Beau Emerton
and local Fijian Quiksilver Pro trials' winner Matia Wonga.
"The waves yesterday were big and I almost drowned, so it was nice the waves came down a little," Garcia explained.
"I was lucky and found a couple of smaller waves which didn't barrel, but peeled. Beau gave me a good run, but fortunately
for me, he didn't get the waves."
Wonga, 27, who was born near Fiji's main airport in Nadi, has lived on Tavarua Island since he was 16. Despite proclaiming his
pride at being able to represent his country in the event, he was disappointed the waves didn't offer better tubes for him to show-off
his local knowledge and barrel-riding skills.
"It's pretty tough for me, it was a really hard heat," he stated. "I was really hoping the wind would be right today and there
would be more barrels, but today is sort of crumbling. Still, I'm so stoked to be representing my country and the Island."
Six-time world champion and last week's Gotcha Pro Tahiti champion Kelly Slater (USA) picked up right where he left off in
Polynesia, defeating Australian Nathan Webster and Brazilian Yuri Sodre. Slater didn't have a great heat, but still managed to
find the points he needed.
"I got cleaned up by the bigger sets a whole bunch out there," he said. "At the end I needed a 1.75 and I just snuck a wave with
like 20-30 seconds to go.
"I feel pretty good and I know Cloudbreak pretty well," he added. "We'll just have to see what the swell does. Hopefully it will
be big like the other day. It was real exciting out here, so hopefully it gets good like that."
Current world number two Taj Burrow, on the other hand, surfed a great heat against fellow Aussie and two-time world champion
Tom Carroll. Despite staying in the same room as Carroll, Burrow admitted how glad he was with his win, as Carroll had been
provoking him in the lead-up to their match.
"I was feeling really confident and my board felt great," explained Burrow. "Tom and I are staying together, so every time
we've passed each other he's been like, 'Come on you little punk' (laughs). I'm glad I got him."
Carroll, 38, who was actually told he'd won the heat as he paddled in, was still enthusiastic after realizing he placed second.
Having retired from the full-time competition years ago, Carroll happily accepted a wildcard position into the Quiksilver Pro Fiji,
and is confident of his chances going into the next round.
"I got a bum steer, but I can take it," laughed Carroll about thinking he'd won. "It's fantastic surfing against these guys,
having the chance to surf against Taj, the world number two. We really went out there and gave it to each other.
"I think these competitions always bring the best out of you and I think that's a great thing about competition," he continued.
"I think I can win the event. There's a big mountain there to climb, but there's a flag at the top and I can see myself up there.
I've got to get through a lot of heats first, so we'll see how I go."
The day's highest total scorer turned out to be Ross Williams (22.65 out-of-a possible 30-points) in the very last heat against
fellow Hawaiian Shawn Sutton and Australian Luke Hitchings. While Hawaiian Kalani Robb took top honors in the highest single wave
category, posting the only perfect 10-point ride of the event, despite finishing second to Brazilian Peterson Rosa.

SURFERS OFFICIALLY WELCOMED BY FIJIAN CHIEFS
Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000 (MAY 23-June 2)
Association of Surfing Professional (ASP)
2000 World Championship Tour (WCT)
Tavarua Island, Fiji (Monday, May 22, 2000). The top 45 rated surfers in the world plus three wildcard entrants
were officially welcomed today by Fijian chiefs on Tavarua Island, the setting for this year's Quiksilver Pro Fiji 2000.
With the event scheduled to begin tomorrow morning and perfect 8-10 ft conditions already present, this afternoon's
ceremony saw traditional Kava drinking, as well as a blessing offered to competitors.
Ratu Kini Vosilagi, chief of all Western Fiji, gave the following address:
"We welcome you with all our hearts and it's been an honour and a privilege
to be here with you and see what you are going to do."
Six-time world champion and winner of the Gotcha Pro Tahiti last week, Kelly Slater (USA), heads the list of
invited wildcards into the event along with two-time world champion Tom Carroll (Aus). Local Fijian surfer Wonga
Tavarua, who received a wildcard spot last year, secured his place in the main event when he took out the Quiksilver
Pro trials a few days ago in excellent 6-8 ft conditions at Cloudbreak.
Great Britain's Russell Winter is still hospitalized with blood poising which he developed while in Tahiti,
and has been replaced by Quiksilver-sponsored Troy Brooks (Aus).
Tavarua Island and the Quiksilver Fiji Pro both remain unaffected by the political upheavals that have erupted
in the country's capital, Suva, in recent days.
