Bobby vs. Another World Champ

Friday, May 12, 2006

Bobby won his Round 4 heat against CJ hobgood
Bobby's first wave was a huge and deep barrel for a 9.83 score for the 2nd highest wave score of the contest. Bobby was so impossibly deep it was just a sea of foam and there was no way he would make it out, but somehow he climbed out at the end. That amazing wave was followed by two more great waves, one of which was a 9.17 to give Bobby a 19.0 heat score, the 2nd highest in the contest. CJ was hard at work too but only had a 15.0 heat score to show for it. They then traded a few more waves, Bobby with another great wave but not higher than his previous scores, and CJ with a nice monster for a 9.60 to put him within 1 point of Bobby with 7 minutes left. CJ fails to get the 9.41 that he needed and Bobby advances to the quarterfinals.

Darryl writes in with some Bobby Math

With Parko, Taj and Andy losing out, Bobby could take over second place in the ratings with an equal 3rd or better placing (and finishes above Taylor Knox). IF he is to lose to CJ, then the statement about him only being beat by World Champs still stands true.
