The young regular-footer, from the nearby coastal city of Cascais, appeared in rhythm with the tricky morning conditions, executing a number of aerial maneuvers en route to the result of his young career.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI can\\u2019t believe it right now, it was a tough heat and I knew Kelly (Slater) could get the score whenever,\\u201d Morais said. \\u201cAgainst Kelly Slater, you\\u2019re never safe, but I knew with that second good score it was possible and I tried to focus on doing my job and it worked.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Slater was unable to find the best opportunities in a shifty lineup of Siupertubos this morning and was handed his first 25th place finish of the year. Today\\u2019s result marks another in the icon\\u2019s up-and-down season with Slater holding a mixed bag of results heading into the final event of the season in Hawaii.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cFrederico (Morais) had the better waves and capitalized on it, he made a couple big moves,\\u201d Slater said. \\u201cI\\u2019m expecting now that I\\u2019ll probably need to win or at least make the Final in Hawaii for a shot at it. We got almost two months now, I\\u2019m going to go do some rehab, get my body back together and try to get my mind back in it. If this week works out, great; if not, well Mick (Fanning) has been the great performer of the year. Obviously his results have been great at every event, it\\u2019s hard to beat a guy like that.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Fanning, current frontrunner in the hunt for the 2013 ASP World Title, survived a dangerous Round 2 match-up against event wildcard Francisco Alves (PRT) 20, in the opening heat of the day. Despite the challenging conditions, Fanning demonstrated his signature speed and power to advance into the third round and move one step closer to his third world surfing crown.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt\\u2019s been a long week of getting up early every morning,\\u201d Fanning said. \\u201cThis morning, conditions felt alright and once we got out there it felt a little bit weaker with that tide coming in. I\\u2019m just stoked to get the heat done and start moving. When you get the wildcard, people always want to see the underdog win, especially in Portugal where the fans are just fanatical but it\\u2019s really cool to see. Francisco (Alves) surfs really well.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Michel Bourez (PYF) 27, dominated his second round encounter against wildcard Dillon Perillo (USA), 23, putting together multiple combinations in the early minutes of their exchange to net a 14.50 point heat total, the highest of the day.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cDillon (Perillo) is not on tour, but I know him well and I think he was trying to go big,\\u201d Bourez stated. \\u201cI went there with a plan of putting pressure on him right from the beginning. When I got my two scores I kind of sat on him, I don\\u2019t really like to do that but it\\u2019s part of the job. Those heats are really slow and there are not that many waves.\\u201d Bourez advances directly to Round 3 of competition.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Adriano de Souza (BRA), 26, capped off the morning\\u2019s action with a strong performance of his own, eliminating compatriot Raoni Monteiro (BRA), 31, in a spirited display of progressive aerial surfing. Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7:45am to assess conditions for a possible 8am start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;When competition recommences, up first will be C.J. Hobgood (USA), 34, up against Yadin Nicol (AUS), 27, in Heat 5 of Round 2.
