Small conditions saw yet another hold on competition at the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast. But with an extended waiting period the promise of new swell has both fans and surfers filled with anticipation. Freddy Patacchia Jr., also known as the "Happy Hawaiian," stops by the WSL desk while Ross Williams and Rosy Hodge take a look at hits and misses among their Fantasy Surfing picks.

Don't miss the action LIVE on the World Surf League homepage through March 13.
