Martinez Into Round Four

Friday, April 14, 2006

Bobby Martinez won his heat against Marcelo Nunez in a 14.50 to 2.60 blowout to advance to Round Four against 3 time world champion Andy Irons. In a perhaps mis-informed rant, the Round 4 seeding seems unfair for our hero Bobby. Bobby is ranked #3 on the WCT now after his success in the last contest yet gets seeded against a #5 seed, whereas fellow rookie Pancho Sullivan who is ranked 9th now takes on Luke Stedman who is ranked #33. Andy is surfing in top form right now so this is going to be as tough as Bobby's heat against Kelly Slater in last months semis. Should be a good show and heres wishing Bobby luck.
