Another day of rideable surf at Praia de Itauna greeted the contestants of the Oakley Saquarema Prime today. The remaining heats in round one as well as the first 7 heats of round 2 were completed in soft backwashy lefts and rights.

Obviously still drunk from his Rio Pro victory party, Adriano de Souza, current world number 1, had a shocker in the first heat of the day. The diminutive Brazilian was unable to break into a double digit heat total, while his other three competitors battled for the top 2 spots. De Souza is known for his aggressive heat strategy, catching as many waves as possible to build on his scores, so a result like this is quite out of character. Luckily for him there is another prime event in Brazil 2 days after the completion of this one, in Santa Catarina.

Julian Wilson was another standout of the round. He started his heat with a near perfect 9.87 for a left where he was able to get a huge vertical backhand snap followed by fins out reverse. He then backed it up with a 8.47. The kid was on fire, posting the highest heat total of the entire event, 18.34.

Matt Wilkinson was unable to survive his brazilian nightmare in heat 3, where Jadson Andre and Raoni Monteiro were able to secure big scores to advance. Jadson was once again a standout of the day, scoring a 9.27 for a blistering series of rail turns finishing off with his patented blow-tail-reverse-to-fist-pump. Although it wouldn't end up being a scoring ride, Jadson also pulled off one of the more impressive comboes i've seen anyone throw. He managed to do 2 back to back air reverses on 2 consecutive sections, with barely a pump in between on a crumbly left.

The swell is dropping, but organizers are optimistic and will be checking the waves at 7 am Brazil time, which is 3 am West Coast time.
