1:15:01
It's four-wave sets with 20-second intervals. Take your time.
1:15:05
Don't take the first wave of the set.
1:15:08
Third wave looks the best.
1:15:09
Here comes Kennelly taking off. Steep drop.
1:15:13
She makes the bottom turn. She's fierce, man.
1:15:16
Gets covered up.
1:15:20
Oh.! She makes it out.
1:15:22
Let's give her a warm round of applause. I'm way out of my league.
1:15:25
Hey. No worries.
1:15:28
Just go out there and have fun. "Fun."
1:15:35
Up next, from Australia, we have Kate Skarratt in red.
1:15:39
She's a goofy foot, which favors her at Pipeline.
1:15:42
Loves charging big waves and has taken first place at Teahupoo,
1:15:45
another barreling left-hander in Tahiti.
1:15:47
Surfng against her, we have wild card entry, Anne Marie Chadwick,
1:15:51
a formerJunior NSSA champion who dropped out of the competitive circuit...
1:15:54
after a near-drowning incident at this very spot just three years ago.
1:15:59
Five, four, three, two, one.
1:16:38
We've got 20-minute heats today with the top four waves scoring.
1:16:41
Wave selection is critical.
1:16:44
If you pick the wrong wave, wipe out, get caught inside...
1:16:47
You could spend the rest of your heatjust trying to get back to the lineup.
1:16:51
How's it goin'? Good.
1:16:53
Nice set approaching. Got good sets out the back.
1:16:56
We have really good consistency with swell. It's on the rise.
1:16:59
Probably gonna get up to about 15 to 20 feet.
