The Quiksilver Saquerama Prime has gone someway toward restroring faith in the Brazilian leg of the tour. The second day saw sets in the 10ft range wander into Itauna Beach, where the competition is held, but unfortunately it was under the blast of a relentless onshore wind. The last couple of days the swell has dropped, the wind has swung offshore (with afternoon seabreezes) and the lefthander in front of the scaffolding has started to light up.

The competition is down to the Quarter Finals and the winner should be decide in the next day.
