Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18, secured the highest heat total of the event with an 18.77 out of a possible 20 for a series of blistering forehand maneuvers in the Duranbah beach breaks while Silvana Lima (BRA), 24, current ASP World No. 2, scored the event\\u2019s first perfect 10-point ride with her lightning-quick forehand approach that included a mid-ride aerial.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow at 6am to assess conditions for a possible 7 a.m. start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast pres. by LG Mobile will be webcast LIVE via &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.quiksilverpro.com.au\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;quiksilverpro.com.au&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The event also incorporates the Roxy Pro Gold Coast pres. by LG Mobile, the opening event of the 2009 ASP Women\\u2019s World Tour.
