2003 Nova Schin Festival

Girls, Girls , Girls.

Tom Whitaker (Bronte) continued the trend of lower seeds eliminating those rated higher by accounting for fellow Australian Nathan Hedge (Narrabeen). The current #45 won the low scoring heat, and will now face Kieren Perrow in round three.

"It's so hard out there and comes down to whoever gets a lucky wave and does a turn," explained Whitaker, surrounded by young autograph hunters. "Brazil is really fun, and there's thousands of people on the beach, so I'm just enjoying being here."

Another decision will be made tomorrow morning at 7am (local time), with organizers gearing up for a possible move to nearby Praia Mole.
