It was the day promoters dream of: hot, sunny and of course, Sunday. The punters were out in force at the Quiksilver Pro, spending their hard-earned in the merch tents and being entertained by the surfers out front. The surf remained steady all day at around 3 feet and even the ever-threatening seabreeze took note of the Sabbath.

The day's action was bookended with two exciting heats: Dane vs Taj in the opener and Kolohe vs Simpo in the closing heat as the action slammed shut.

Alex Ormerod lurked and prowled in the sultry Queensland sun training his lens on all the action.
