Billabong Rio Pro ready to go

The waiting period for the Billabong Rio Pro begins tomorrow, May 11 and with a promising swell expected to ignite the beach breaks of Brazil there is a good chance that the ASP Top 34 could kick things off straight away at the event's primary site of Barra Da Tajuca.

Joel Parkinson is looking to get off to a flying start, following his recent win at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.
