PRAIA DE RIBEIRA D’ILHAS, Ericeira / Portugal (Wednesday, September 26, 2018) – A lay day has been called on Day 3 of the QS10,000 EDP Billabong Pro Ericeira waiting period with inconsistent two foot surf only on offer at Ribeira d’Ilhas today. “We’ve been monitoring conditions since dawn this morning and the swell hasn’t really filled in yet,” Rob Gunning, WSL European tour manager stated. “It’s highly inconsistent and we can’t run in these conditions, so we’ve called a lay day and we’ll be back early tomorrow to potentially resume in great conditions.” The EDP Billabong Pro Ericeira is a crucial event in the race to qualify for the 2019 Championship Tour with a massive 10,000 ranking points up for grabs for the winner. A couple of lucky surfers will have a first taste of the CT next week at the Quiksilver Pro France as both the highest QS surfer and highest French surfer on the QS will be awarded wildcards into the event. The EDP Billabong Pro Ericeira will be broadcast LIVE on the WSL’s Facebook page. Also, check local listings for coverage from the WSL’s broadcast partners.
