With the top seeds returning to the water on Wednesday at the Hurley and Swatch Pro the top two World Title contenders stepped up their performances in Round Three. After Gabriel Medina was upset by Jadson Andre in the first heat of the day, World No. 1 Jordy Smith and No. 2 John John Florence capitalized with incredible back-to-back performances that shot them forward into Round Four. Both of them are hoping to put some daylight between themselves and the rest of the pack, but Filipe Toledo and Julian Wilson put in some powerful performances of their own as the day wore on, indicating that this battle is far from over. The WSL broadcast crew breaks down all the day's action from Lower Trestles.
