ARUGAM BAY, Sri Lanka (Wednesday, August 31, 2011) -- Day two of the SriLankan Airlines Pro started in similar conditions to day one, two to three foot waves peeling down the Arugam Bay point. But it soon became apparent that the swell was dropping so a shorter day was called.
Sarah Mason (NZL) one of the event's youngest competitors at just 16-year-old took control of her heat and scored the highest wave score of the event so far, a 9.25 out of a possible 10.
Alizee Arnaud (FRA) current ASP World Junior Champion was triumphant in heat two, along with young Australian Nikki Van Dijk, caused the upset of the day by eliminating current ASP Top 17 surfer Alana Blanchard.
Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS) ASP Women's World Tour veteran belted the A-Bay waves on her backhand and progressed through to the next round and is already accumulating points to help her re-qualify for next year's ASP Women's World Title Series.
Sofia Mulanovich (PER) 2004 ASP Women's World Champion attaked the waves, easily winning her heat and progressing into the next round.
By 1pm the tradewinds had picked up so bad that competition had to be called off for the day. A call will be made at 6:30am local time tomorrow morning to see if it will be the Men's ASP WLT or the Women's ASP 6-Star hitting the water.
The event will be webcast live on www.srilankanairlinespro.com
