Martinez Eliminated in Round 4

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Bobby Martinez was eliminated in Round 4 by Brazilian Adriano de Souza at the Billabong Pro. Bobby, a goofyfooter, is an amazing backside surfer, something he excelled at growing up in our land of great right point breaks. However this contest seems to give fits to most all the goofyfooters, and Bobby was no exception having a tough time getting into a rhythm. (Edit: Bobby placed equal 9th and improved his standing from 10th overall to 9th overall.) The next event is a long and perfect left which should hopefully showcase Bobby's excellent frontside tuberiding.
