HALE‘IWA — The 26th annual Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is poised to kick-off first thing this morning at Hale‘iwa’s Ali‘i Beach Park, with an incoming west-northwest swell building for the start of the Reef Hawaiian Pro. Kaua‘i’s Roy Powers will defend his event title against last year’s Triple Crown winner Bede Durbidge.
The $170,000 Reef Hawaiian Pro is a men’s and women’s 6-star rated ASP World Qualifying Series event and will feature over 200 of the world’s top-ranked surfers.
Official Series surf forecaster Wetsand.com predict early forerunners of the swell to materialize today, building to a peak, tomorrow. Waves are anticipated to reach the high surf advisory level of 15 feet (wave face heights in excess of 20 feet). Winds may be the only obstacle for Thursday/Friday, with trade winds giving way to variables.
