The 2012 Nike Lowers Pro Gallery, Pt. III

Day three of the Nike Lowers Pro was slightly shorter than the previous two days, which was no doubt a bummer for Australian webcast audiences. Luckily, the contest’s down to the business end and will resume tomorrow morning. If you missed out on the action but high performance on surfing’s most contestable wavepark is your jam, then you may enjoy this micro gallery of shots from today. Scroll through the sliding door and feel the heat. All photos courtesy Nike/Hilleman. Check out the Nike Lowers Pro site and watch the live feed tomorrow over here.
