I was trying to be patient and I got caught down in to five minutes before my next good one. I would have rather got one earlier, but I think the guys that are patient are the guys that are getting through today. "

Not much chance, but to be taken if it appears. "

Hobgood is another veteran competitor in the patient based on the success in the Rip Curl Pro Puerto Rico to find today.

If you want to do that, should be performed in all conditions. We have conditions like this all the time in SR, but I was lucky that no one posted a big score in this heat. "
