Mick Fanning (AUS), amtierender ASP Weltmeister und ehemaligen Rip Curl Pro Search Sieger (2005) hatte seinen Heat direkt nach dem von Tiago und Kelly und konnte Tiagos Backdoor Barrel aus dem Wasser sehen.
"Our heat was so slow for waves it was unbelievable," sagte Fanning. "I was in the water at the end of Slater and Tiago's heat and when Tiago (Pires) came out of the barrel, the entire cliff erupted and I thought, 'wow, that sure isn't for us because nothing has happened yet.' Fortunately a few rolled through and I was in position to capitalize. I'm happy to be moving through to Round 4."
