Another full day of action in reasonably good waves. Most of the early heats were a bit slow but the surfing was good.
Most top seeds got through. Jermey Flores beat another Frenchman with a 7 plus in the last 30 seconds and Jordy was beaten in a slowish heat. He was one of the few that went right but they were fat and he missed out. Slater rode a swallow tail epoxy and has now ridden something different each heat.
Last night's commentator indicated that with the dropping swell and a poor forecast the rest of the contest might be run tonight. All round 4 match ups look good, hopefully the waves will hang around.
