Wow - some good surfers there
That would have to be close to 7 of the TOP 10 in OZ.
Stoked to see Kai get through. This could be his breakthrough event

Not to forget the women's!!!

H1 - Ke'ale Dorries : 3rd
H1 - Jacenta Potts : 4th (does anyone know her? it's says she's an Aussie)

Both through to the repecharge

Keale is thru to the Quarters too

X angie

Awesome work Aussie lads. Any video? Kai stepped it up a level or two last time I saw him.
Hope they don't all end up in heats together.

hey Jacinta surfed well and grabbed some great wavs. Keeping everyone pumped with enthusiasm.

Toby and Kai are shredding in their free surfs off to the side too. Love to have that much energy....

Big Dave Muir looked good out there. But so many little waves and not enough big ones for the carving legend....

Gonna be a cracking third round in the morning....

Here's a vid of yesterday's trials:

Here is some more footage from day 1 of the main event:

Thanks for the updates Casso!!! Are you over there for the Masters, good luck if you are!! I can't believe that they are allowed to put more than two people of the same nationality in one heat unless it's the final!!! Lets face if Kai Bates gets 9.2s but Keahi gets 9.3s and Jackson gets 9.4s he won't get through but is clearly a level above the other competitors!!!. Could you do a quick comparative? If our competitors got higher over all scores then there needs to be a system of protest!! Lets face it, and I keep on repeating it our top 6 men seem to be the top 6 men. Except for Kai Lenny. Zane Scweitzer, Mo De freitas Connor are clearly excellent, (as are our boys). Great stuff Casso,thanks again.

No mate, just getting up early and trying to follow the (not very good) coverage.

They are not publishing the heat scores so it'd be hard to do the comparative - but I reckon the Aussies are ripping (even the ones that have been eliminated) and would have gone better if the heat draw was different.

Results from the Aussies in Round 4 of the men's main event:
H1 - Jackson Close : 4th
H3 - Keahi De Aboitiz : 3rd
H3 - Justin Holland : 4th

1st and 2nd progress to Round 5, 3rd and 4th bow out.
