UPDATE: Just got word from FuelTV – It’s on! Tune in at 4pm on FuelTV or on the webcast here.

Word is coming through that the Billabong Pro at J-Bay is going to start at 8am local time if the swell’s good. Which lucky for us because that’s at 4PM our time. If you’ve got Foxtel it’s being broadcast live on FuelTV (channel 516). If not (or you’re still at work) then you can catch the live webcast on the Billabong Pro website. The first heat is set to be massive with Taylor Knox taking on two Australians in Luke Munro and Adam Melling. For the rest of the heats see below. The video above is episode 7 of Billabong webcast series. In it some of J-Bay’s best talk about their favourite J-Bay moments.
