The HIC Pro at Pipeline, the fourth and final event of the inaugural Asahi Grand Slam of Surfing, was postponed yesterday after conditions were deemed to be too dangerous. Waves were in the consistent 8-12 foot range and out of control.

The HIC Pro's waiting period runs through Feb. 25. Competition will be held at Pipeline.
