Today the Margart River surf looks cleaner, so clean infact that this morning grey fins were seen in the water while Paige Hareb and Courtney Conlogue competed.
Thankfully they were only dolphins enjoying the conditions.
Yesterday Mick Fanning made it past the kiwi factor. Then in the next heat, with 4 minutes to go and tied with Julian Wilson he needed an 8.04 to win. With 14 seconds to go he got a wave but the score coming through was 8.03, just not enough to make it into today’s final. So that leaves Taj Burrow in a potential rerun of last year.
The competition ends today, a day earlier, due to the calmer conditions.
