Photos: Day one of the Margaret River Pro

Round one of the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro wrapped today. Offshore and a little chubby in the morning, the wind kicked into the rights by the afternoon and put some pepper in the sections. The competitive highlight of the day was Julian Wilson’s 16 point combined total. The high performance highlight of the day was Gabriel Medina, John John Florence and Kolohe Andino’s heat. And the best gossip of the day was Kelly Slater sporting no major sponsor stickers on his board, and explaining in detail to Pete Mel where he’s at with the split. Breeze trough the photos above, and if you missed anything, then go watch the replays here. Heat 1: Filipe Toledo (BRA) 12.23, Nat Young (USA) 8.77, Aritz Aranburu (ESP) 8.23Heat 2: Jordy Smith (ZAF) 15.33, Raoni Monteiro (BRA) 10.70, Sebastian Zietz (HAW) 6.26Heat 3: Taj Burrow (AUS) 10.77, Brett Simpson (USA) 9.50, Fred Patacchia (HAW) 7.60Heat 4: Adam Melling (AUS) 13.17, Joel Parkinson (AUS) 10.83, Mitch Coleborn (AUS) 9.30Heat 5: Yadin Nicol (AUS) 15.23, Kelly Slater (USA) 11.87, Bede Durbidge (AUS) 10.37Heat 6: Mick Fanning (AUS) 13.17, Nathan Hedge (AUS) 9.43, Matt Wilkinson (AUS) 7.57Heat 7: Julian Wilson (AUS) 16.00, Jeremy Flores (FRA) 11.53, Dion Atkinson (AUS) 9.17Heat 8: Miguel Pupo (BRA) 12.57, C.J.
