Conditions were tough this morning, but if you picked the right wave, you could get a good score. Stoked to win my first heat back in France.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, current ASP WCT No. 9, posted an well-earned Round 1 victory this morning despite the trying conditions on offer at La Graviere. \\u201cIt\\u2019s definitely tough out there,\\u201d Smith said. \\u201cThe waves are sharp which makes everything last minute. Most of the way through the heat, no one had big scores so it wasn\\u2019t comfortable until the end. Happy to make it out of my first heat though. I have a lot of family support in France right now and I love coming here.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Kieren Perrow (AUS), 35, current ASP WCT No. 26, caused the upset of the day, besting former event winner Adrian Buchan (AUS), 30, and last year\\u2019s event Runner-Up Julian Wilson (AUS), 23, to advance directly to Round 3. Winner of the 2011 Billabong Pipeline Masters, Perrow is more than comfortable in the barrel. \\u201cIt\\u2019s the lowest-scoring heat win I\\u2019ve ever had but it\\u2019s Round 1 so you take it anyway you can,\\u201d Perrow said. \\u201cIt\\u2019s a thumping, little bank at the moment and if you can find the right ones, it squares off nicely. Obviously Ace (Buchan) and Julian (Wilson) are no slouches out there, but I feel confident in these kinds of conditions as well. Hopefully it only gets better.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Officials went on hold following Round 1 this morning in hopes that conditions may once again become favorable with the rising tide, but ultimately called Quiksilver Pro France competition off for the day. Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 8am to assess conditions for a possible 8:30am start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;When competition resumes, up first will be current ASP WCT No. 2 Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, up against wildcard Wiggolly Dantas (BRA), 22, in the opening heat of Round 2.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For more information, log onto &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.aspworldtour.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;www.aspworldtour.com&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REMAINING QUIKSILVER PRO FRANCE ROUND 1 RESULTS:&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nHeat 10: Jordy Smith (ZAF) 12.33, Heitor Alves (BRA) 8.63, Adam Melling (AUS) 2.47&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nHeat 11: Kieren Perrow (AUS) 9.23, Adrian Buchan (AUS) 6.84, Julian Wilson (AUS) 6.54&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nHeat 12: Gabriel Medina (BRA) 14.33, Fredrick Patacchia (HAW) 9.34, C.J.
