Ace Buchan is famous for his precision handling. Even in our era of endless digital surveillance the Australian goofyfooter is rarely caught in an awkward moment. Every aspect of his surfing is technically sound, especially when it comes to proper form. So naturally, when Buchan catches fire he can be extremely dangerous, as he was during his Round Four match Sunday with Jordy Smith and Matt Wilkinson. Buchan's 8.67 helped him earn a vital win, and early entry to the Quarterfinals.
