Round four has started with Dane Reynolds losing in the first heat and CJ Hopgood joining his brother on the side lines.
The Hopgoods have lost their chance to gain on Parko but Taj and Mick Fanning are still in it. Fanning knocked out Queensland grom Julian Wilson and will come up against Jordy Smith in a killer heat. Taj has Kieren Perrow and should have the advantage in the small waves. However the waves are only waist height again and currently clean. Wave selection will be the key as will a bit of luck.
There is some talk that they will try to finish the contest today, which means that the forecast is dismal.
