In pristine California conditions at Lower Trestles on Friday a bevy of the world's most progressive surfers took the clean walls apart all day in their final push to make the podium at the Hurley and Swatch Pro events.
On the men's side Jeep Leader Jordy Smith was able to gain a little space on World No. 2 John John Florence with his third Finals appearance here in the last four years.
Meanwhile, on the women's side, Silvana Lima continued her incredible tear through the women's ranks, eliminating former Swatch Pro champions Carissa Moore and Stephanie Gilmore, along with Lakey Peterson and Keely Andrew.
Behold, your quick fix of the day's best action.
