15:58 Results of the JP Aloha Classic PWA World Cup - 1st Levi Siver 2nd Bernd Roediger 3rd Kauli Seadi 4th Morgan Noireaux
15:57 Roediger works a small wave as much as he possibly can, probably won't be enough to move him into the lead though. Roediger picks up another set wave, nice one-handed aerial, but then he gets closed out on. Siver charges down the line, one big gouging smack, but that's it really after the wave closes out. Floaty aerial from Siver. Roediger on the final wave of the heat - off the lip and one more hack, that's it!
15:51 Roediger sets up with two critical hits but he can't quite wrestle his goiter from the whitewater. Siver with a slight tweaked air but then kicks out.
15:45 Siver on a set wave, big gouging top turn into an aerial and two more vertical hacks sending the spray flying. Roediger responds with two big turns under the lip but he goes down on his next turn hard. He's taking the rest of his set on his head, hopefully his kits ok. It is. Siver also down in the channel now!
15:40 Siver picks up the first wave of the heat, but bails on his top turn. Roediger goes for another taka right off the lip, but this time doesn't quite make it. Siver on the board as he tweaks a trademark aerial.

15:16 Nice vertical hit from Seadi into an aerial and two more back up turns.
15:11 Difficult conditions now with a gusty wind which is swinging offshore. Roediger winds up for a goiter, but he falls out the back. Seadi with an aerial right in the critical section! Seadi tacks onto a set wave - stylish bottom, top turn combo and then goes for a radical air taka, but he doesn't quite land it.
15:06 Seadi goes for a big start as he tries a goiter, doesn't quite make it. Roediger with a good opening wave ending with a taka.

14:49 Couple of really nice fluid turns from Roediger, before he heads back to the beach.
14:43 The wind is super light at the moment, with Roediger bogging around the break!
14:38 Noireaux picks up a set wave, but has very little power to do much, even harder when he's sailing with a tweaked foot. Sadly he's on his way back to the beach! He gets a round of applause for his efforts! Roediger now gets the Ho'okipa to himself for the remainder of the heat.
14:33 Roediger goes down on a late hit. The wind looks like it's dropping after the squall passes through.
14:27 Heat 31 is now sailing - Roediger vs Noireaux - another squall is about to hit
14:15 Red flag is now up - 12 minutes to go before the start of the heat.
14:08 There's going to be a small postponement whilst Noireaux is attended to.
14:06 It seems Noireaux tweaked his foot on his last aerial that he landed, he's going to try and battle through the pain when he gets ready to face Roediger in the next heat.
14:04 Unfortunately it appears that Morgan Noireaux has injured himself in the last heat.
13:56 Results Heat 30 - Noireaux defeats the newly crowned world champion Marcilio Browne

13:51 Solid wave from Noireaux as he hits the lip with a perfectly timed turn before adding two aerials off the lip on the same wave. Highest scoring wave of the heat so far - 7.3points to move into the lead.
13:48 The wind is looking light after the squall but it's still contestable with 7 minutes to go.

13:16 Angulo goes for his trademark one-handed aerial, but he doesn't quite make it.Browne up under the lip, which he smacks adding a tweaked air too. Looks as though there's going to be another shower hitting us in a minute or two, so we'll have to see what that does to the wind.
13:11 Angulo kicks off his wave. Browne with another excellent wave as he throws a sick air taka and backs it up with a couple of hacks. Trademark aerial from Angulo.
13:06 Brawzinho goes for a one-handed taka right from the off, but he doesn't pull it off. On his next wave he combines a couple of hacks with a nice tweaked aerial.

11:50 It looks as though we will be starting at 12:15pm, but with a 12 minute transition the first heat will actually kick off at 12:27pm. Seadi has just suffered a broken mast and sail after going on the rocks and Angulo has also ripped his sail in half. Carnage!
11:45 Conditions are getting better with close to mast high bombs rolling through and the wind increasing. The next announcement will be at 12pm with the first possible start at 12:15pm.
11:30 The wind still isn't quite what is needs to be yet. But the sun is starting to properly burn through which should see the wind stabilise and increase. Next call at 11:45am, first possible start 12pm.
11:00 The next announcement will be at 11:30 with the first possible start at 11:45am. We've just had another shower come through so the wind is a little up and down, there's some really nice sets coming through though with Siver and Seadi out on the water warming up.
10:30 We're still waiting for the wind to increase here, the first whitecaps are starting to appear so it seems like we shouldn't be waiting too long. Next call at 11am, first possible start 11:30am.
10:00 The next announcement for the PWA fleet will be at 10:30am with the first possible start at 11am. The next call for the AWT will be at 1pm. We've had a few showers here this morning and there's still a lot of low lingering cloud, but the sun looks as though it is starting to burn through which should see the wind increase. The swell is pumping already with slightly more North in the swell than yesterday, meaning more swell is kicking in to Ho'okipa.
Good morning and welcome to day nine of the JP Aloha Classic - presented by Nalu Kai. Yesterday saw seven riders start the day with a shot at the title, but by the end of yesterday there were only two sailors still standing - Alex Mussolini and Marcilio Browne - and today will see our new world champion crowned. Who will win? Skippers meeting coming up at 10am
