Dane Reynolds' 10 point score elimiates Mick Fanning

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 October, 2012 : - - La Graviere, Hossegor, France - The Quiksilver Pro France, bore witness to monstrous shake-ups in the hunt for the 2012 ASP World Title Wednesday. Dane Reynolds caused the upset of the event this afternoon, eliminating current ASP WCT No. 1Mick Fanning in Round 3.

“That was a tough heat, I was nervous before the heat coming up against Mick in kind of tense conditions. The peaks are all over the place and unfortunately for Mick he was out of rhythm and broke his board. It’s not easy out there. There’s obviously not pressure on myself to get a result here like Mick, but I still want to perform and surf well.”

Despite the trying conditions, Reynolds secured the fourth Perfect 10 of the event for an incredible free-fall drop on his forehand, navigating through several critical sections and exiting to the raucous applause of thousands on the beach.

“There are better waves out there than my 10,” Reynolds said. “Right towards the end, I was only 10 feet from a much better wave than that, but they’re extremely difficult to find. I feel really fortunate to have even found little head dips out there because it’s really challenging.”
