| Reigning world champ Mick Fanning is currently sitting at No. 4 on tour and survived a hard-fought Round 1 heat today against veteran Dream Tour campaigner Taylor Knox and lethal wildcard Owen Wright . "The waves out there are great, but it just went lully towards the end of the heat and none of us could really get any waves," Fanning said. "There have still been some amazing heats today and I really hope the swell hangs around." Photo: ASP/Covered Images/Kirstin |
