Lower Trestles is one of the greatest surfing arenas in the worldand the best planetary surfers have been proving the sweet taste ofCalifornia in the high-performance early rounds of the Nike LowersPro 2012. Taylor Knox, from Carlsbad, scored the highest single-wave score ofthe day with his signature arcing turns of 9.57 out of 10 points.The 40-year old surfer was a young spirit in the magnificentpointbreak of San Clemente and beated prodigy John John Florence,who advanced in second. "I have the most restarts in ASP history at this spot," Knox said."I don t know how to explain it because I really love this waveand it doesn t want to love me back. I guess it loved me today.Luckily today it gave me something at the end." Knox relied on his veteran experience to overtake prodigy John JohnFlorence (HAW), 19, who advanced in second, but looks to the nextgeneration for inspiration to improve his own game. Michel Bourez tore into two steep Lowers righthanders with an arrayof powerful turns to take the highest heat-total of the day, 17.87out of 20. "I didn t know what score I had, I was just trying to try out myboards and see what felt good," Bourez said. "When I heard I had a9.2 and an 8.6 I knew I was in the lead and let the other surferssurf." Dane Reynolds, who has taken a hiatus from full-time competition,set the pace for the day with his signature style of spontaneouspower-carves and explosive aerials during the day s opening heatto take a commanding Round 1 win with at 17.36 out of 20 heattotal. "I m really stoked to be able to compete here," Reynolds said. "Ilike this wave a lot and everybody gets to actually surf. It s aneasy wave to surf and this year, I m just choosing events where Ireally like the wave. This is definitely one of them." Adrian Buchan and Patrick Gudauskas have also won their heats. MarkOcchilupo, the iconic Australian, continued his comeback with hislegendary backhand surfing. "The result at Margaret s inspired me to do a few more events, forsure," Occhilupo said. "I couldn t be in the Triple Crown lastyear and now I m on my way. You ve got to be in the top 96 to getin and I m on my way now. Hopefully I ll be able to get there.I ve always missed competing since I ve left the tour and I feellike I m still surfing good, so I figure, why not? In a fewyears time it will be all over, so I m just making hay while thesun shines.".
