Day 3 of the Rip Curl Pro saw the mens moved to Winkipop and score some of the best waves the competition has seen in many years. The early heats had ruler straight six foot perfection with the likes of Owen Wright, Josh Kerr and Jordy Smith tearing the faces apart. It backed off slightly into the afternoon but was still four to six foot at the close of play. Full results below. All photos by Steve Arklay. //STUART NETTLE
