A look at yesterday’s best high-tide shorebreak slab moments starring ASP elite. |
Early signs were good but then wind and a low tide forced a late start (3pm). Pic: ASP/Cestari
No surprise to see Kieren Perrow hunting some early morning sand slabs. Pic: ASP/Cestari
Joel Parkinson completely outclassed Wiggly Dantas in heat one of round two amassing an 18.27 two wave total. Pic: ASP/Cestari
Dusty Payne started strong but unfortunately his competitor, John John Florence, has cat-like reflexes (exhibit A above). Pic: ASP/Cestari
He left his run a bit late against Taylor Knox, but for Adriano de Souza, conditions played a part in his fortunes. Pic: ASP/Cestari
Taylor’s expert use of the doggy-door saw him escape cleanly from a couple of pits and finish victorious over Adriano. Pic: ASP/Cestari
Kolohe Andino has everything; except a good WCT result. He’ll grow his game and his win over Josh Kerr will help that growth. ASP/Kirstin
It reared up like an angry cobra and eventually bit Jeremy Flores with a two wave hold down – still he beat Yadin Nicol. Pic: ASP/Kirstin
Visibly (and understandably) rattled. Jeremy Flores reflects on his beat down and lucky heat escape. Pic: ASP/Cestari
Unfortunately we don’t have a shot of his ten; but this is still a cool shot – Yadin Nicol, bunny-pump! Pic: ASP/ Kirstin
Owen Wright and a great example of one of the many cement-mixer-type wipeouts the boys endured. He he. Pic: ASP/Kirstin
…it wasn’t all donuts for Owen Wright. This is his monster buzzer beater against mate Matt Wilkinson. Pic: ASP/Kirstin
