Fiji is one of the best stops on Tour. Behind Pipeline and Teahupoo, the event consistently offers up some of the most exciting conditions for both competitors and fans.
The opening round at the Fiji Women’s pro saw a whole lot of excitement. With Stephanie Gilmore out due to injury, the other women seemed to collectively step up to the plate to fill the void. While the red jerseys held onto their domination for the most part, Laura Enever and Biana Buitendag held the fort against the top-seeds.
