Brazilian Yago Dora flew to a near-perfect heat total of 19.17 out of 20 on Day 4 of The Ballito Pro presented by Billabong by using his uncanny ability to stay attached to his surfboard while flying high above the waves and earning huge scores from the judges.
Local fans were sad to see Matt McGillivray bow out in Round Three. The only South Africa to reach the last 48 started well but was eventually overtaken by his three international rivals. Another goofy-footed Brazilian aerialist in Krystian Kymerson racked up a 7.13 and an 8.33 on the lefts for the heat win and a spot in the Round of 24 along with runner-up, veteran CT member Jeremy Flores of France.
