One might say that today was a big day at the Oakley Pro Bali. For one, Kelly Slater was eliminated and Mick Fanning took the lead in the ASP WCT Ratings. Josh Kerr also claimed his first ten in an ASP WCT event, and the waves weren’t so bad either. Above are some of the best photos from Rounds 3, 4, and 5, and box scores below so you know what’s going on.
