This is a report from the second day of the NIKE LOWERS PRO.
The weather improved a bit today, so there were more spectators than yesterday.
Kolohe, who was unexpectedly eliminated yesterday, was the most notable surfer in the morning session.
The Heat also had Luke Davies and Brett Simpson on the backup board.
Luke was unable to catch a good wave and was eliminated.
Mason, who came to CA from Hawaii early on and practiced heavily every day, was also unfortunately defeated.
Mayhem appeared on a corkboard, which was very conspicuous and caused quite a stir.
Until last weekend, MAYHEM went to Hawaii to get shaped, and apparently he caught some good waves every day.

Noah Beschen spent the whole day surfing next to the event.
Travis Roggie was the SQ tail driver.

Okkie won the heat and asked Matt for another board.
SC locals came out to support Cory in his heat.
Cory made the first heat and was surfing well.
In the evening, Chucky said he was going surfing at Salt Creek.
I went to take some photos.
PLACEBO, LOST, and Mayhem Shape. I don't know their names, but they were really good.
Salt Creek local Pat O'Connell also rode a MAYHEM.
In the evening the wind died down and the waves were amazing.
Chucky was delighted, saying that it was the best condition he'd had in the past few days.
So, please look forward to tomorrow's report on the support of the athletes riding MAYHEM boards.
