Josh Kerr and Adriano de Souza surf their way into Round 4 at 2012 Hurley Pro
Australia?s Josh Kerr and Brazil?s Adriano de Souza continued their impressive run of form at the Lower Trestles in California, America, on Wednesday, September, nailing yet another victory in their respective Round 3 heats at the 2012 Hurley Pro, stop No. 6 of 10 on the 2012 Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Championship Tour, to comfortably advance to the fourth round.
Kerr defeated his fellow countryperson Bede Durbidge to secure his place in the next round while bringing the competition to a premature end for his rival.
The 10th heat saw South Africa?s Travis Logie failing to keep De Souza from walking away with the win despite putting on a remarkable fight, getting eliminated from the latest elite tour event as a result.
The four-to-six foot glassy waves on offer at the iconic event site promised a heavy dose of enthralling surfing action as the top surfers from around the globe continued to take each other on in exciting one-on-one battles for survival.
Pitted against Durbidge in the ninth heat, Kerr wasted absolutely no time to stamp his authority over his rival. Locking a juicy wave in the opening minutes of the heat, an energetic Kerr unloaded a series of exquisite tricks to earn an average of 7.60 points from the judges. After a long and determined hunt, he eventually added an additional 5.93 points to his account, thus reaching a heat-total of 13.53 points.
Durbidge struggled to find his rhythm during the course of the bout and eventually had to settle for a two-wave total of 9.67 points, which comprised of a 5.17 and 4.50-point ride. As a result, he was forced to concede victory to his rival.
The 10th heat featured a much-more intense affair with both De Souza and Logie keeping each other on the toes until the very last minute.
The Brazilian powerhouse collected a 7.87 off his first business-wave early in the heat and went on to back it up with an excellent 9.33-point ride.
Logie was nothing short of impressive during the thrilling heat either and managed to respond with a 6.50 and 9.27-point ride. However, the effort eventually proved to be insufficient, leaving him in a 1.43-point deficit and consequently leading to his elimination from the competition.
