Bobby Martinez, Billabong Pro, Tahiti

Y’like irony? Try this. None have been more outspoken about the ASP’s failure to include lefts on tour than Bobby Martinez. “It’s funny how the ASP only has one event that is a left. What the fuck is up with dat? Get ur shit 2gether ASP. Thats bullshit,” he tweeted, leading to a public falling out with an ASP fan on Twitter. And where does he rack up his worst result of the year? Out of the upsets on day one of the Billabong Pro, Tahiti, none came close to the ousting of Bobby Martinez. Twice has the Californian won at Chopes, both times in small, tricky barrels of the like being offered up for this event. Even more remarkably he was beaten by last placed Brazilian natural footer, Marco Polo.– Jed Smith
