Event No. 8 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title series, the Quiksilver Pro France bore witness to some impressive surfing this afternoon with the Quarterfinalists being determined in picturesque conditions. Taj Burrow (AUS), 33, current No. 6 on the ASP World Title rankings, blitzed his afternoon Round 4 heat today, comboing both Owen Wright (AUS), 21, and Damien Hobgood (USA), 32, with explosive surfing on his backhand and forehand. "I did have fun in that heat," Burrow said. "It went my way towards the end and I got some really nice rights and some good lefts too.

It felt great to post some good scores and hopefully the conditions remain fun and consistent for the rest of the event." Burrow will take on Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, in Quarterfinal 4.
