The swell jumped up from yesterday and this morning it quickly became evident that Restaurants would be the best venue for today's competition. The waves were pumping all day right in front of Tavarua where the world tour surfers were taking their craft to another level with long barrels, critical turns and fierce competitive strategy at one of surfing's most exciting playing fields.
