Josh Kerr got the worst of it and sustained a high ankle sprain as he negotiated a thick one, \\u201cI had it made then the foam ball just blasted me from behind and twisted my ankle all weird,\\u201d said the world ranked 33 surfer. A medic on the media\\/surfer boat told him that he\\u2019d be out of commission for 10-12 weeks but Kerrzy was upbeat and was upright and walking.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Kerrzy wasn\\u2019t the only one who got smashed, even 11-Time World Champion Kelly Slater got beat up out there. \\u201cI came out of a little barrel and the lip just landed right on my head,\\u201d he recalled afterward. The Champ copped the nose of his board on his wrist and was icing it as he watched some heats from the channel.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Speaking of Slater, he was the victim of rampaging event wildcard Mitch Coleborn who dropped a nine with seconds left to beat Kelly and Kai Otton. You must consider Mitch a legitimate threat here at Cloudbreak, he\\u2019s powerfully built and has nothing to lose\\u2026except maybe a bit of skin on the reef.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;On a side note, the setup here at the Volcom Fiji Pro is crazy; the contest is being held over a mile away on an open ocean reef, the judges sit on a scaffolding that until recently served as a bathroom for birds, and the surfers are all staying together at one of two little resorts. We have the pleasure of being on Tavarua while others are across a body of water at Namotu Resort. Both places are simply spectacular and everyone is really grateful and stoked to be back in Fiji after a four-year hiatus.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Stay tuned, the swell forecast is looking as good as it gets and figured to be on again tomorrow.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000147854\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption aligncenter\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/06\\/Jordy-Smith.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000147854\\\" title=\\\"Jordy Smith\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/06\\/Jordy-Smith.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Jordy Smith\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\\\"wp-caption-text\\\"&gt;Jordy Smith on one of the very first waves of the 2012 Volcom Fiji Pro.

After a rough start, including suffering a number of waves on the head, Coleborn rebounded in sensational fashion, grabbing 9.27 followed by an 8.10 for the day\\u2019s highest heat total of a 17.37 out of a possible 20.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThe heat ended up good but the start was a nightmare,\\u201d Coleborn said. \\u201cThen I got that one 9-something and it really turned the heat around for me. Once I pulled in, I knew it was going to happen and I couldn\\u2019t wipe the smile off of my face after I came out. I still needed a score though and bagged another solid one at the end. I guess I got a couple of waves between all of the beatings I took.\\u201d Coleborn, current No. 62 on the ASP World Rankings, is battling to join the elite ASP Top 34 in the near future, and the young goofy-footer was thrilled to capitalize today on the world-class waves of Fiji as a wildcard.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cOut there on the ledge there are chip shots and you\\u2019ve got to be right there under them,\\u201d Coleborn said. \\u201cThat last one was a dream come true. It\\u2019s a different thing coming here compared to other contests. You knew a swell was coming and it\\u2019s Fiji and you just can\\u2019t think a bad thought. I\\u2019m happy to be here.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, current ASP World No. 1, put in a dominant opening round performance, consistently navigating through technical barrels with unmatched authority, advancing directly to Round 3 over Raoni Monteiro (BRA), 30, and wildcard Isei Tokovu (FIJ).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThe second half of the heat was really good,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cThe start was washing through and I thought it was going to be a scrappy one, but it really turned on. I\\u2019m really enjoying everything I\\u2019m doing. I\\u2019ve been here before. I\\u2019ve had some disappointments so I\\u2019m not really getting myself ready for anything. One by one. This is the best contest out of them all. You post up on an island and fish and surf, it\\u2019s amazing. I\\u2019m really enjoying myself out here.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, kicked off the event\\u2019s opening heat with a late drop into a deep backhand barrel, earning an excellent 9-point score for the ride en route to his Round 1 victory over Hawaiian Fredrick Patacchia (HAW), 30, and Californian Brett Simpson (USA), 27.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt was pretty hard out there at first and I\\u2019m stoked that I caught two quick ones,\\u201d Smith said. \\u201cOn that one 9, it just opened up real perfect. I lucked into it on the way back out when the boys got stuck inside and it just held open and I came out and got a couple of turns in. I\\u2019m pumped, it\\u2019s my first time back to Cloudbreak since my rookie year and I couldn\\u2019t have had a better start. It felt fun out there and the waves are just pumping.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;John John Florence (HAW), 19, who took out his inaugural ASP WCT victory in Brazil last month, recovered from a recent bout of flu in Fiji to take a come-from-behind victory over fellow rookie Miguel Pupo (BRA), 20, and veteran Kieren Perrow (AUS), 35. \\u201cMy confidence is there, but I\\u2019ve been sick the last few days,\\u201d Florence said. \\u201cI had a session the other day, so the confidence is there and it\\u2019s kind of not. I went over the falls on that one and it was a good warm up to get kind of shaken up a bit.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Alejo Muniz (BRA), 22, capped off the day\\u2019s action with an impressive performance of backhand surfing to best Michel Bourez (PYF), 26, and Adam Melling (AUS), 27, to advance directly to Round 3. \\u201cThe waves are so beautiful today and I\\u2019m so stoked to get through that heat,\\u201d Muniz said. \\u201cI didn\\u2019t have a very good start this season, but I got a pretty good result at home in Brazil and hopefully I can keep getting through heats. I don\\u2019t want to stop surfing out here so I want to win as many heats as I can.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Muniz\\u2019s performance punctuated an impressive Round 1 showing from the Brazilians, with compatriots Adriano de Souza (BRA), 25, and Heitor Alves (BRA), 30, claiming their respective heats.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:30am to assess conditions for a possible 8:30am start.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;When competition resumes, up first will be Kelly Slater (USA), 40, up against local wildcard Isei Tokovu (FIJ) in the opening heat of the elimination Round 2.
