Slater rings his fourth bell. Not only did Kelly win the event, but over all the CI team killed it! Sofia placed second in the womens, Dusty won the expression session on his 6-0 rookie and Tom Curren defeated Occy in both Icon heats.

Not bad for the safest turn Dane performed the whole contest.

If you look closely you will see Taylors rail grab, adding a little extra flair to the standard floater.

Tanner about to put on a show.

With so many airs being busted out, there’s bound to be some big crashes, Tanner takes one on the head for the team.

After 9 days of waiting for waves, Pat finally gets some top to bottom waves to surf.

Dusty Payne blew up in his round 3 heat against Kelly Slater, netting a 9+ score on his first ride. He backed it up with a medium range score and wasn’t able to put Kelly away.
