“Day three of the Soldiers Beach Pro saw an epic show down between the top 16 and back 16 riders.”
“Conditions were punchy in the 3 to 4 feet range (1.0 metre), however onshore winds made conditions tough and wave selection proved to be crucial with many competition favorites eliminated from the event…”

Michael Novy knocks out Jeff Hubbard with a perfect 10 Air Reverse, launching 6′ above the lip at the buzzer, and advancing him to the Quarters to battle Jones Russel.
