The waiting period for the Billabong Pro in Tahiti started yesterday. There hasn't been enough swell at Teahupoo to run any heats, but the World Tour guys have been out there for some practice surfs. Pascal Moisan from O'Neill Canada sent us a few shots the O'Neill riders in small conditions at one of the world's heaviest reefs. For more from the Billabong Pro, click here.

Not exactly all-time Chopes, but Bobby Martinez found a few that barreled onto the reef.

Jordy Smith, currently the top-rated surfer in the world.

Roy Powers digging in with all three fins.

It's hard not to smile when your job involves going surfing in a South Pacific paradise.
