Steve Sherman gains access at surf contests like no other photographer — and yesterday, opening day of the 2010 Hurley Pro, was business as usual for Sherm. An intimate look from Day 1 at Lowers.

- Sporting the all-new numbered jerseys that feature a surfer’s last name and ranking. Dane Reynolds makes his way out for round 1, heat 1.
-
- Rob Machado and Kelly Slater.
-
- Kelly Slater gives Dane’s board a look. Dane rode two different boards on Sunday. The first a shorter, chop tail. The second, a brand new board he’d never ridden before. If you’ve seen the highlights of his afternoon heat with Kolohe, you’ll see that it worked pretty damn well.
-
- Moments before their Round 1 heat together Kolohe Andino and Kelly Slater measure up.
-
- Taj Burrow cleans up in an unlikely location.
-
- Kelly trying out some new sticker placements.
-
- Rob Machado takes advantage of the exercise bike. Kai Otton looks impressed by the competitive nature in The Drifter.
-
- You’d be stoked too going into the event as number one. Jordy Smith stands tall.
-
- I have a feeling if Kelly sees this photo his chances of winning triple.
-
- Andy Irons and Jordy smith prepare for the trudge down to the contest. Andy Irons looked as in-form as ever. Check the highlights, you won’t be bummed.
