The second day of action at the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro delivered some stellar performances in challenging conditions. But The Box also exacted punishment from the Round 2 surfers who dared to take it on.
With heavy conditions at The Box for Round 2 of the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro, Josh Kerr (AUS) tries to escape a heavy slab but gets crushed for a gut-wrenching wipeout.
The men's Drug Aware Margaret River Pro took down more of the elite in Round 3, as massive waves and tricky takeoffs continued to confound even the most seasoned of surfers.
Adam Melling (AUS) took one of the heaviest spills at The Box during Round 3 of the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro, ejecting off his board only to be crushed by a heavy lip.
