MR Pro kicks on

Margaret River 6 Star Prime WQS from erica hosseini on Vimeo.

Size hasn't been an issue at the Margaret River Pro. Running it when I'm at work and probably the worst website ever for a WQS prime event has.

When you can finally find the results (try here as they aren't accessable from the MR Pro site) you'll find the men are almost finished round 3 (or the round of 48) and the women have complete two rounds. Taj Burrow has been on fire and has made the best of the conditions. His next heat has him against a Brazillian and some one from Uraguy. Yadin Nichol is the other West Aussie still in it but he has a horror heat with two WCT surfers Hawaiian Kekoa Bacalso and last year's surprise packet Aritz Aranburu.The big name to drop out is Parko who didn't make it out of his very low scoring first heat

Both Hopgoods are still in as is Mick Fanning, Ace Buchan and Bede Durbridge. If they get good waves heat five will be a killer - Ace v Mick v Damo.

Some strong heats in the womens event. WA's Felicity Palmateer is the only non-WCT surfer in her heat but Clare B has an easier time. Laura Macaulay is still in it in a winnable heat in decent waves. Heat four has a glamour girl (Blanchard), a world champ (Hedges) and the daughter of a world champ (Curren). This followed by the WCT rookie (Enever), the blogging model (Hosseni who is very honest that the 8 foot second day had her scared) and Owen's sister Tyler Wright.
