"\"&lt;h2&gt;Volcom Fiji Pro: Day 3 Highlights And Recap&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;After a few days off, the 2013 Volcom Fiji Pro roared back into action at Cloudbreak. Six-to-eight-foot barrels were on tap, and the world\\u2019s best showed why they earn the big bucks. And while there were tubes and big turns galore, even the best pay the price at big Cloudbreak. \\u201cThat\\u2019s the worst beating I\\u2019ve ever had,\\u201d said South Africa\\u2019s Travis Logie after getting rag-dolled across the razor sharp coral reef. Logie was cut up from head to toe in his round three matchup against CJ Hobgood and will be headed home tonight in what no doubt will be an uncomfortable 11-hour Fiji Airways flight\\u2026get well soon bru!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Volcom Fiji Pro Day 3 Heat By Heat Recap&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 4 &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/jeremy-flores\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Jeremy Flores&lt;\\/a&gt; vs. Miguel Pupo&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nEarly this morning Jeremy was worried that the waves weren&amp;#8217;t going to be big enough for a backside surfer to fit into the barrels, but a nice pulse came through after a slow start and the Frenchman was able to use his tube riding prowess to KO the smooth surfing Brazilian.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 heat 5 &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/sebastian-zietz\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Sebastian Zietz&lt;\\/a&gt; vs. Kai Otton&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nSeabass channels his inner AI and takes out Kai Otton with a last minute buzzer beater, marking the second time he\\u2019s done that in this event.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 6 &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/mitch-coleborn\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Mitch Coleborn&lt;\\/a&gt; vs. Kelly Slater&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nThe Volcom Fiji Pro wildcard puts up a good fight against the 11-Time World Champ and current event champion Kelly Slater but comes up short. &amp;#8220;I was bobbing and weaving as best as I could,&amp;#8221; says Slater of his near perfect ride. He would later go on to congratulate his brother Steve on the birth of his son Van.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 7 &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/mick-fanning\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Mick Fanning&lt;\\/a&gt; vs. Heitor Alves&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAs the tide fills in, the sets slow down a bit and Mick Fanning gets by the last remaining Brazilian surfer in the event. The Brazilian storm officially passes.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000162469\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption aligncenter\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000162469\\\" title=\\\"Travis Logie\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/06\\/Travis-Logie.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Travis Logie\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"480\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\\\"wp-caption-text\\\"&gt;Travis Logie after a bad bounce off the reef at Cloudbreak.&lt;\\/figcaption&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 8 Travis Logie vs. &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/cj-hobgood\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;CJ Hobgood&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nCJ Hobgood broke the fin plugs out of his favorite board yesterday and is now on his backup stick but it doesn\\u2019t seem to slow him down. Logie smacks his head on the reef; gets rag dolled across the reef, and is shredded from head to toe. He\\u2019ll be lucky to be healed up by the time the next event in Bali kicks off. Either way he\\u2019s off to LA tonight and what\\u2019s sure to be a miserable flight.

In a low scoring affair Brother continues to be the giant killer&amp;#8230;not one to take a loss lightly, we wisely didn\\u2019t hit up Jules for a post heat quote.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 11 Matt Wilkinson vs. &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/nat-young\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Nat Young&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nNot too many barrels going down so it&amp;#8217;s turning into a turn contest and it&amp;#8217;s clearly evident that Nat has been doing some squats&amp;#8230;his turns are crazy powerful and he takes out Wilko on a 6\\u20190\\u201d CI round pin.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Round 3 Heat 12 &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/surf.transworld.net\\/tag\\/joel-parkinson\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Joel Parkinson&lt;\\/a&gt; vs. Yadin Nicol&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAfter swearing off fishing on contest days, Parko lights up Cloudbreak for the highest heat score of the day so far.
