Big names crash

Brazil hasn't been kind to the big names on the tour, except one Slater. Taj went in round three, Mick and Parko in four.

Slater has won his round four heat and is into the quarters. Only one Aussie has made it to the final rounds. Owen Wright is having his best event of his time as a full time CT surfer. Four Yanks have made it through including CJ, Taylor Knox and Dane Reynolds. Jordy Smith

The event will finish today and Taj is likely to drop down the ratings after his 17th. The waves are mainly lefts and seem to favour the goofy footers. But both Kelly and Jordy didn't seem to mind smashing backside.
