Highlights From a Red Hot Round Two at Jeffreys Bay

Pumping surf and high-pressure heats made for a very eventful conclusion to Round Two at the Corona Open J-Bay. The painful early elimination matches snagged a few top names, including World No. 9 Kolohe Andino, No. 10 Sebastian Zietz and No. 16 Ace Buchan to name a few. But the biggest story of the day happened just north of the contest area, where Kelly Slater broke his foot during a warm-up session. For Slater, the pain coming from his foot wasn't nearly as bad as the mental anguish that came from watching the waves get better all day at Jeffreys Bay. And it's only expected to get better when competition resumes.
